Constructors are used to initialize and set up an object, and destructors are used to de-allocate and reset resources when an object is destroyed. There are several types of constructors in C . This is constructors.cpp from chapter seven of the exercise files, and you notice that this a bit longer. Our classes are going to start getting a little bit more complex from here on out. At the top, we include the string library because we're going to be using that and we have a using alias for std::string so we can just call it string from here on forward. We have two constants declared, and these are in static memory space because they're outside of any functions. Two constant strings.
