A ''[[Destructor (computer science)|destructor]]'' is a method that is called automatically at the end of an object's lifetime, a process called [[object lifetime|destruction]]. Destruction in most languages does not allow destructor method arguments nor return values. Destruction can be implemented so as to perform cleanup chores and other tasks at object destruction.
====<big>Finalizers</big>====
In [[Garbage collection (computer science)|garbage-collected]] languages, such as [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], and [[Python (programming language)|Python]], destructors are known as ''[[finalizer]]s''. They have a similar purpose and function to destructors, but because of the differences between languages that utilize garbage-collection and languages with manual memory management, the sequence in which they are called is different.
