Introduction. This is the first page in a series of pages on Washington special purpose districts. The page discusses the meaning of the term special purpose district and sets out criteria to distinguish special districts with autonomous governing bodies from other types of districts.
verb (used with object), declared, declaring. 1. to make known or state clearly, especially in explicit or formal terms: to declare one's position in a controversy. 2. to announce officially; proclaim: to declare a state of emergency; to declare a winner.
For example : extern int a; // only declaration. Declaration is just like prototyping. Defining a variable means, telling the compiler to allocate certain amount of physical memory (depending upon its data type) for that variable in RAM and initialize it with some default value.
