A simple program for distractor:-

Without Virtual Distractor

Now, the output of the code is:

Here you can see no output for “Distractor of Derived called”. This is problematic so How To fix this Answer is obviously — virtual destructor

So fixed code is

The output of this code is:

That is it Thank you for reading.
