Class member function of same type of the class

The code defines class member functions of it's type of class, it executes and outputs as below message:

constructor printData
Spec1 int: 2
Spec2 int: 4
Spec1 int: 3
Spec2 int: 9
constructor printData
Spec1 int: 4
Spec2 int: 16

I am so confused that why it only prompts it's constructor "constructor printData" twice, consider it calls "spec" which is the same type of class.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
class printData {
    
   int x;    
   public:
      printData spec(int i) {
          this->x=i;
        cout << "Spec1 int: " << this->x << endl;
      }
      printData spec(int i,int j) {
          this->x=i*j;
        cout << "Spec2 int: " << this->x << endl;
      }
      printData ( )
      {
        cout << "constructor printData\n";
      }   
};

int main(void) {
   printData pd;
   
   pd.spec(2);
   pd.spec(2,2);
   pd.spec(3).spec(3,3);
   
   printData *pde;
   pde=new printData;
   pde->spec(4).spec(4,4);
   delete pde;
   return 0;
}
You did forgot the copy constructor.
