    Nope. Thats a function declaration of a function called obj that takes no params and returns a someclass by value.
    Lose the parentheses and you have what you want.

    thax Stoned_Coder for your reply

    i mean something like this

    Code:
    class someclass
    {
           public:
               someclass(int);
               someclass();
               void dosomething();
           private:
               int num;
    };
    
    ////////////////// class someclass implememtation///////////////////////
    someclass::someclass(int val):num(val)
    { }
    
    someclass::someclass():num(0)
    { }
    
    void someclass::dosomething()
    {   
        cout<<"The value of num is "<<num<<endl;
    }
    
    //////////////main function//////////////////////
    int main()
    {
          someclass obj1(20);
          someclass obj2();   // when i say this it compiles fine with no error. 
     
          obj1.dosomething();
          obj2.dosomething();    // when i take off this statment it compiler fine
    
         cin.get();
    }

    of course it compiles, its legal. It just doesnt do what you want. To call a default constructor you just do this...

    someclass obj;

    This declares an object of someclass and calls the default constructor.

    someclass obj();

    This on the other hand as explained above is a function declaration.
