In c++ what does a tilde "~" before a function name signify?

 template <class T>
 class Stack
 {
 public:
    Stack(int = 10) ; 
    ~Stack() { delete [] stackPtr ; }  //<--- What does the "~" signify?
    int push(const T&); 
    int pop(T&) ;  
    int isEmpty()const { return top == -1 ; } 
    int isFull() const { return top == size - 1 ; } 
 private:
    int size ;  
    int top ;  
    T* stackPtr ;  
 } ;
