Are you talking about constructors and destructors?
A constructor has the same name as its class:
MyClass( ) { ... }
and a destructor is the same, but prefixed with ~:
~MyClass( ) { ... }
Destructors aren't usually necessary; the compiler will create
one automatically for you. (just like a class with no constructors will automatically
be given a constructor with no parameters.)
The main exception is when you're using virtual functions. If you declare any
functions virtual in a class, you should declare a virtual destructor in that class
too. Something like:
virtual ~MyClass() {}
