This is just a definition of the class. When you instantiate the class
(eg. dynamically: A* a = ew A(); statically: A a;) it will create vec
and call it's constructor as part of the class initialization.

When your execution gets into that function, a Vector2D named vec1 is
created (and destroied at the end of the function).

B is part of some code, A is part of a definition of a class.
