  • Question
  • Is the following statement a declaration or definition?
    extern int i;


  • Options
  • A. Declaration
  • B. Definition
  • C. Function
  • D. Error

  • Correct Answer
  • Declaration 

    Explanation
    Declaring is the way a programmer tells the compiler to expect a particular type, be it a variable, class/struct/union type, a function type (prototype) or a particular object instance. (ie. extern int i)

    Declaration never reserves any space for the variable or instance in the program's memory; it simply a "hint" to the compiler that a use of the variable or instance is expected in the program. This hinting is technically called "forward reference".
