Lifetime of an object

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
using namespace std;
TimeStamp theTimeStamp; // object created here
theTimeStamp.update();
long theTime = theTimeStamp.get();
if (theTime > 0) {
cout « "seconds from 1/1/1970: "
« theTime « endl;
}
return 0;
} // object destroyed before brace (scope end)

Constructor and destructor code:

TimeStamp::TimeStamp() {
std::cout « "TimeStamp object constructed at address "
« this « std::endl;
}
TimeStamp:: $\tilde{\;}$ TimeStamp() {
std::cout « "TimeStamp object at address "
« this « " destroyed" « std::endl;
}

Output:

TimeStamp object constructed at address 0xbffff24c
seconds from 1/1/1970: 1157281160
TimeStamp object at address 0xbffff24c destroyed
