Answer / gg
As i know.....
Definition is one which allocates memory.
Ex: int x;
Declaration never occupy any memory space.
Ex:Function prototype declarations such as....
int func(int,int);
Initialization: If any variable assigned with some value at
time definition itself is called initialization.
Ex:int x=0;

Answer / shabeer v c
A good example to illustrate this Question ges like this:
Whenever we apply for a job the company declares that we
have been selected. Similarly we declare a variable like
int emp;
(here emp behaves as an employee).
Then he will be assigned with a initial salary which
will be incremented in course of time period or on
experience basis.
Similarly the variable int is assigned a initial
value.
i.e int emp=20;
(value can be changed in between program)
The employee is now identified by his post, which can
define his status in the company.
Same way the variable is also defined in the
program.
ie. int emp;

Answer / siddiqui mohd. faisal
declaration : int a;
declaration means here a is declared as integer variable
initialization : int a = 5;

Answer / nirmal kumar tailor
declaration means you declare variable.
ex: int a;
defination means this integer type a variable take 2 byte
memory space.
initialization means we initialize the value of integer a
variable type.
ex: int a=2;
in declaration we declare variable and variable type , in
initialization we define the value and in defination we
define the type of variable.

Answer / harshit
there is no practical such as declaration its in theory only
the only practical application is :
int a; //defination
a=10; //intialization
this is a normal thing we do,,,now
somemethod()
{
int a;//defination
}
main()
{
extern int a;//declaration
a=10//intialization
}
here we declare that there is a variable "a" somewhere
n this is the only use of declaration ...
to best of my knowledge...
plz suggest if someone kno better

At a shop of marbles, packs of marbles are prepared. Packets are named A, B, C, D, E …….. All packets are kept in a VERTICAL SHELF in random order. Any numbers of packets with these names could be kept in that shelf as in this example: bottom of shelf ---> [AAAJKRDFDEWAAYFYYKK]-----Top of shelf. All these packets are to be loaded on cars. The cars are lined in order, so that the packet could be loaded on them. The cars are also named [A, B, C, D, E,………….]. Each Car will load the packet with the same alphabet. So, for example, car ‘A’ will load all the packets with name ‘A’. Each particular car will come at the loading point only once. The cars will come at the loading point in alphabetical order. So, car ‘B’ will come and take all the packets with name ‘B’ from the shelf, then car ‘C’ will come. No matter how deep in the shelf any packet ‘B’ is, all of the ‘B’ packets will be displaced before the ‘C’ car arrives. For that purpose, some additional shelves are provided. The packets which are after the packet B, are kept in those shelves. Any one of these shelves contains only packets, having the same name. For example, if any particular shelf is used and if a packet with name X is in it, then only the packets having names X will be kept in it. That shelf will look like [XXXXXXX]. If any shelf is used once, then it could be used again only if it is vacant. Packets from the initial shelf could be unloaded from top only. Write a program that finds the minimum total number of shelves, including the initial one required for this loading process.
