Where did my destructor go??

Here is another small problem possibly brought about by the ancient book I am using to learn or something I did. I am trying to get my destructor to print a few lines but everytime I run the program he destructor simply does not do what its told and display the few lines.

here is the code:

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;


class Stringthings {
      private: 
               char str[20];
               char firstletter;
               char lastletter;
      public:
             void first(void);
             void show(void);
             void last(void);
             Stringthings(char s[20]);
             ~Stringthings(void);
             };

//Functions of the class
void Stringthings::first(void)
{
     if(strlen(str)<1)
     firstletter = '?';
     else 
     firstletter = str[0];
}

void Stringthings::show(void)
{
     cout << firstletter << endl;
}

void Stringthings::last(void)
{
     if(strlen(str) < 1)
     lastletter = '?';
     else
     lastletter = str[strlen(str) - 1];
}
//This constructor creates a stringthing object and copies the input string into the private data member str
// strcpy is in the library string.h
Stringthings::Stringthings(char s[20])
{
     strcpy(str, s);
}

Stringthings::~Stringthings(void)
{
     cout << endl << "The full string was " << str;
     cout << endl << "That's all folks!" << endl << endl;
}

int main(void)
{
    char data[20];
    
    cout << "Enter the string: ";
    cin.getline(data, 20);
    Stringthings test(data);
    test.first();
    test.show();
                
cin.ignore(256, '\n');
          cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
          cin.get();
          return 0;
          }

no errors pop up the machine simply runs the default destructor and not the one I created

Thanks much

Sorry I couldn't for a moment get the code in the proper format... :-(

 

I have done that for you and here is the link on how to do that - http://www.cfanatic.com/misc.php?do=bbcode#code

 

Dunno what's wrong on your system, it worked fine for me:
---START
Enter the string: hello
h

Press ENTER to continue...


The full string was hello
That's all folks!
---STOP

I had to press Enter to continue before it said "press enter to continue" (although not if I entered a very long string).
What string did you enter?
What output did you get?
Did the program end or did it appear to hang?
