In deplorable style, this program attempts to use constructors to add 3 numbers and print the results but sadly nothing gets printed. Can you spot the flaw?

 #include <iostream>

int sum = 0;

 class Add
    {
        public:
            Add( int a, int b, int c )  { sum += a; Add x(b,c); }
            Add( int a, int b )         { sum += a; Add x(b); }
            Add( int a )                { sum += a; Add x(); }
            Add(  )                       { std::cout << sum; sum = 0; }
    };

int main()
{
    Add x( 21, 15, 9 );
    return 0;
}
