When we mention the prototype of a function?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
A function prototype in C or C++ is a declaration of a function that omits the function body but does specify the function's name, argument types and return type.
While a function definition specifies what a function does, a function prototype can be thought of as specifying its interface.

Prototypes are just like declarative statements which tell the compiler that the type of the input and type of the parameter and what the function is doing. They are like interface to complier.

int a;
is the declaration- it simply assigns the datatype for the variable
int a=10; is the definition- it assigns the value for the variable- the value given should match d datatype

Hi friends:
Can you explain this program?
in()
{ int arr[]={ 1,2,3,4 };
int *ptr ;;;;
ptr++ = arr;
printf("%d,%d",ptr[2],arr[2]);
return 0;
}

The answer could be "Prototyping".
Then what is the basic difference between function declaration & function prototyping then ?
Thanks.

@Vikas.
defining and initializing
int a=20;
defining without initialization :
int a;
initializing already defined variable a
a=20;

Definition of prototype means declaration of function. It's tell the compiler -this type of function are used in a program.

Prototype means we specifies the interface of that declared function. And we will use that function for coherent task.

Prototype means blue print of a function. It means in our function what type of arguments we require.
