Discussion Forum : Declarations and Initializations - General Questions (Q.No. 4)
4.
Is there any difference between following declarations?
1 : extern int fun();
2 : int fun();
Both are identical
No difference, except extern int fun(); is probably in another file
int fun(); is overrided with extern int fun();
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

extern int fun(); declaration in C is to indicate the existence of a global function and it is defined externally to the current module or in another file.

int fun(); declaration in C is to indicate the existence of a function inside the current module or in the same file.
