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;

write an interactive C program that will encode or decode a line of text.To encode a line of text,proceed as follows. 1.convert each character,including blank spaces,to its ASCII equivalent. 2.Generate a positive random integer.add this integer to the ASCII equivalent of each character.The same random integer will be used for the entire line of text. 3.Suppose that N1 represents the lowest permissible value in the ASCII code,and N2 represents the highest permissible value.If the number obtained in step 2 above(i.e.,the original ASCII equivalent plus the random integer)exceeds N2,then subtract the largest possible multiple of N2 from this number,and add the remainder to N1.Hence the encoded number will always fall between N1 and N2,and will therefore always represent some ASCII character. 4.Dislay the characters that correspond to the encoded ASCII values. The procedure is reversed when decoding a line of text.Be certain,however,that the same random number is used in decodingas was used in encoding.
