Answer / suman_kotte
declares a function, but that does not define it.
declaration describes whether the function consist
arguments or not and also it will return a value or not.
definition must be as per the function declaration that was
declared rearlier.it will for the out put of that function.
ex;
main()
{
int a=1,b=2;
void sum(int , int );//declaration
sum(a,b);
}
void sum(int x, int y)//definition
{
printf("%d",x+y);
}

Answer / michael scofield
definition defines the memory area ( allocates the memory ) for the variable and the declaration tells about the signature of the variable ( type and size to be considered). definition occures once through the program( memory is allocated once ), but the declaration can occur many times.
OR For a variable, the definition is the statement that actually allocates memory. For example, the statement:
long int var;
is a definition. On the other hand, an extern reference to the same variable:
extern long int var;
is a declaration, since this statement doesn�t cause any memory to be allocated. Here�s another example of a declaration:
typedef MyType short;
