new foo -vs- new foo()

[Robert Allan Schwartz]

Given:
class foo { };

What is the difference between:

new foo

and

new foo()

?

When would I use the first form, when would I use the second form, and
why are there two different forms for what is apparently the same
thing?

Thanks,

Robert Schwartz
