Simple Class and Header in Separate File Won't Work

I'm currently learning c++ for a week and here's my problem:

run.cpp

#include <iostream>
#include "Abc.h"

int main(){
    int a;
    std::cout << "Enter a : ";
    std::cin >> a;

    // Object Initialization
    Abc AbcObj();
}

the header, Abc.h :

#ifndef ABC_H
#define ABC_H


class Abc
{
    public:
        Abc();

    protected:

    private:
};

#endif // ABC_H

and finally my cpp file for implementation, Abc.cpp:

#include "Abc.h"
#include <iostream>

Abc::Abc()
{
    std::cout << std::endl << "Object created ";
}

Why don't I get output on my console? I'm expecting "object created" should be on the console. These files are in the same directory.

You error doesn't come up because you've used different files, so I have used one in this example

struct Foo
{
    int a;
    Foo()
    {
       std::cout << "Constructor called!";
    }
};

int main()
{
    Foo obj();
}

Why don't you see the message? You can read this thread

The problem here is, Foo obj() is taken as a function declaration. To fix this you need to remove the ()

int main()
{
    Foo obj;
}

Constructor called!
