Constructor?

I am learning about C++ and today am reading concepts for Constructor but it seems a bit difficult to grab it fully. Please anyone explain in simple words about Constructor?

It is a function that is run whenever an object is created. It has the same name as the class.

The opposite is the destructor, which is run whenever an object is deleted. It's the same name as the class with a ~ before it.

Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class myclass
{
public:
        myclass() {
                cout <<"Someone created a myclass object\n";
        }

        ~myclass() {
                cout <<"Someone removed a myclass object\n";
        }
};

int main(void)
{
        myclass obj;
}
