C# and destructor calling

Question

I am trying to understand a new challenge that I came across... I am putting the code below, well I have added a couple of things and made it extremely generic for this question... it won't execute for the obvious reasons..

class Class
{
public void class()
{
x statements;

}
~Class()
{
y statements;
}
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{

1 new Class();
2 Class history = new Class();
3 history.class();

}

So in Main.. if there is only line 1 in main, it goes straight to the Class destructor skipping class and executes the y statements....but I am assuming this is because class is not being called.

However, if I have all three lines, it calls to class and executes x statements, then it executes y statements twice. Wouldn't it execute y statements, then x statements then go back and finish out with y statements again?

Answer 1

It is very dangerous to call you example Class
C# is case-sensitive so it should be possible in theory, but it is really confusing

Please have a look at my sample code.

https://code.sololearn.com/c0eedplr31Ff

A constructor is a special method that has the name of the class.
Here is where case-sentive confusing comes in

The name of you constructor should be : Class
And it should not have a return type not even void : public Class()

but please use
class SampleClass
{
public SampleClass()

In your main
1 new Class();
Does create a instance of your Class, but since it is not assinged to a variable. It is use less.

2 this is the line where you call the constructor because you a creating a instance of the object. You cannot call the constructor itself.

3 In this line you have a standard method call, this is not the constructor

Answer 2

@sneeze thank you for taking the time to look at this. maybe I made this way too generic. I agree that class would not be a wise name... sorry for the confusion. I was trying to understand. . the destructor from what was in the challenge question.. as I got the answer wrong.. and I didn't want to post the verbatim quiz question here. When I walked through it on my computer.. it didn't fully make sense.. as I know the garbage collector. .. handles this. thanks again. :)
