minute 3:50. Why Kennet when instantiates Add and Multiply classes doesn't put the parentheses?

We normally put the parentheses when we instantiate a class.

goblin = Monster()

Why this time not?

We just want to use pointers to those classes at that point. We don't want to actually create instances of the classes just yet (we're waiting for the numbers).
