Hooray! You’ve learned the basics of classes and objects in C++:

• Classes are user-defined types.
• Objects are instances of classes.
• Class members are the data attributes and functions inside of a class.
• Creating a new object from a class is called instantiation.
• Class members can be designated as either private or public — they are private by default.
• You can create a constructor to instantiate objects in a particular way.
• A destructor allows you to execute any cleanup necessary before an object gets destroyed.
