Answer 7

Rishi Anand oh ok
My book has info on destructors but no mention of it existing in Java
It's a complete Java bk so I thought it being mentioned with Java constructors would mean it to be existing in Java
Apparently I was wrong
Maybe it is just a general info
Important to know alongside constructors..
Why doesn't Java have destructors?
