A destructor is the counterpart of a constructor. A destructor member
function can specify exactly what needs to happen when an object is
about to die. This may not sound useful for simple objects that do not
point to other objects. However, once we start to have objects
pointing to each other, destructors become extremely important.
The name of a destructor is the tilde symbol ~ followed by
the class name.
Just as constructors must be public, destructors must be public, as well.
