class _name object_name( );

The above declarations is used to call the class "Constructe r" while declaring the object. Get familiar with the concept of constructors to understand better..

thanks for u r reply . i know about constructors and the object_name() was not the same name as a classname and i am sure that it was not a constructor.

This is defining a class_name object called object_name:

class_name object_name; //normal declaration

This is a function prototype of a function named object_name that takes no arguments ans returns a class_name object:

class _name object_name( ); //it works but what does it mean plese help

thanks

ie. a function returning the object of type class_name. right.

Yes. That's correct.
