9.
Identify which of the following are declarations
| 1 : | extern int x; |
| 2 : | float square ( float x ) { ... } |
| 3 : | double pow(double, double); |
Answer: Option
Explanation:
extern int x; - is an external variable declaration.
double pow(double, double); - is a function prototype declaration.
Therefore, 1 and 3 are declarations. 2 is definition.
double pow(double, double); - is a function prototype declaration.
Therefore, 1 and 3 are declarations. 2 is definition.

float square ( float x ) { ... } but here it is declared and as well as can be defined so why cant we put it in the category of declaration. it comes under both declaration and definition, can any one explain me in detail?

Declaration never reserves any space for the variable or instance in the program's memory.

@ aishu:
declaration just assigns a data type for the variable taken..
ex: int x;
whereas definition assigns a value satisfying the data type
ex: int x=2;

During declaration we tell the datatype of the Variable.
During definition the value is initialized.
During definition the value is initialized.

A declaration is just writing a type of variable or function.
a definition is simply assigning a values to that particular variable or function.

Hi,
file f1.c
extern int a;//declaration because it doesn't allocate memory for a variable,it has allocated memory somewhere else in the program
file f2.c
int a;// it is definition because here it is getting memory
a=3;//it is assigment
