- Q3. Can you explain the concept of virtual destructors in C++?
- Ans.
Virtual destructors in C++ are used to ensure that the correct destructor is called when deleting an object through a base class pointer.
Virtual destructors are declared with the 'virtual' keyword in the base class to allow proper cleanup of derived class objects.
When deleting an object through a base class pointer, having a virtual destructor ensures that the destructor of the derived class is called.
Without a virtual...
