Question about constructors in C++

Why there is no output? Why doesn’t an ambiguity error occur? https://code.sololearn.com/clKtHxtqnj8G/?ref=app

@Donna In C++, We can have more than one constructor in a class with same name, as long as each has a different list of arguments. A constructor is called depending upon the number and type of arguments passed. While creating the object, arguments must be passed to let compiler know, which constructor needs to be called.

#include <iostream> using namespace std; class A{ public: A(){ cout << "Class A"; } A(int a = 0){ cout << "A"; } }; int main() { A a(); return 0; } So when we create an object “a” of type “A” ( A a(); ), compiler calls a constructor without parameters, doesn’t he?

I should have written “A a;” instead of “A a();” because compiler thinks that it’s a function declaration.
