The variables are defined outside the main block, when that variable is declared as with the keyword 'extern'.

Extern means external declaration that is declared for outside the function,so that a that is declared as extern and defined in outside the main ar a=20

Hi friends!
here in the program please go through the question again.he was just asking where "a" is declared and where it is defined.
whether "a" is normal integer or external integer not matters.
so,declaration is : extern int a;
and definition is :int a=20;
that's it!....
correct me if i am wrong plz!.....
