do you need to delete an object?

maybe u mean a constructor!?

if so use a"~"

else u just write delete and then the stuff u want to delete!

yeah i mean, are there any other way than these two?

delete object;
delete [] object;?

don't forget to set it to NULL afterwards though,

you can't call a destructor within your program, just so you know.

you could dynamically allocate memory for the class then delete it. create a destructor.

This is true. Use a normal function to destroy the object, which can then be called by the destructor instead.
