Return type of a class of a function inside same class

Just started learning, please be gentle!
I'm working on an assignment and we were provided a .h file with all the member functions we have to complete. One of said functions has a return type of the class it's located in.
class A
{
public:
A();
...
A a();
private:
...
}
I'm implementing A a(); with:
A A::a()
{
...
}
Is this the correct way of implementing this type of function? Or am I doing something completely wrong? What is the proper terminology for this type of function? And finally, how do I call it in main?

No. it should be A A::a(). because you do not need to specify where the A class is, but you do need to specify that the a() function you are defining is the A class a() function.

Sorry, typo! It's already A A::a(), thank you!

You should probably start to learn defining C++ member functions
https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cplusplus/cpp_class_member_functions.htm
class A
{
public:
A();
A a();
private:
};
A::A()
{
}
A A::a()
{
}
int main()
{
A a1;
A a2 = a1.a();
}
