Ok lets say I create a class and the constructor. Back in the main code a create an instance of the class 'Example':

1
2
 
Example e;
Example();


When I try to use:

e.Example();

I get an error, is there any way to do it?

No. You can't manually call constructors or destructors (well, you can in certain cases, but generally you shouldn't). What you can do is
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

class A{
	A(){
		this->init();
	}
	void init();
};

//...
A a;
//...
a.init();
