Explanation:

In the above program, we created a module Module1. Here, we created a class Sample that contains a data member num. The Sample class contains a constructor and destructor.

Here, we implemented the destructor using the finalize() method.

The Main() method is the entry point for the program, here we created an object of Sample class and then called SayHello() method, it will print "Hello world" message on the console screen. Then destructor gets called automatically.
