That declares a global variable named r that is of type A.

It's the same as

class A { ... };

A r;

int main() { ... }

It Create one instance of class A with name r. It's pretty much the same as doint int r; Which would make a global int on that position.

Um, yeah! Basically, r there is a global variable of type А. C++ has inherited from C a certain syntax that enables you to declare variables after a class/struct definition. You can often see from C something like

struct vertex {
   float x, y;
} my_vertex; // Declares a variable of type vertex

In C++, a struct is the same as class with the exception of the default access specifier.

You might have wondered what the semicolon is for after class definitions. So basically a class defined as

class my_class {};

with the braces immediately proceeded by a semicolon declares no variables.

You can also declare more than one variables by delimiting them with the comma operator.

class my_class {} x, y, z;
