Constructors and Destructors

• Constructors (including Copy Constructor):
1. Derived class constructor implementation should call parent class constructor
2. Make call explicit in initialization list
3. Calling order: bottom-up
4. Execution order: top-down
• Destructors:
1. No explicit call to base class destructor
2. Called automatically as variable departs scope
3. Calling order: bottom-up
4. Execution order: bottom-up
