function declaration tell the compiler about function name,return type and parameter while function definition is the body or block of statement to perform task

when you declare prototype of the fxn then that is known as function declaration. like - void Print(); // fxn declaration Fxn definition: when u write actual implementation of the fxn. like void Print() { cout<<"Hello world"; }

a function declaration is just saying "hey, I'm a function, i haven't been defined yet but I'm here" this is used when in headers,classes, and placing a function underneath of main.cpp. a definition is the actual creation of what that function is and does

"Definition" refers to the place where variable is created or assigned storage; "declaration" refers to places where the nature of variable is stated but no storage is allocated.
