What's the difference between definition and declaration in C++?

And can I call parameter a variable?? What's the difference between reference and variable?

Declaration of a variable is for informing to the compiler the following information: name of the variable, type of value it holds and the initial value if any it takes. i.e., declaration gives details about the properties of a variable. Whereas, Definition of a variable says where the variable gets stored. no, you can't call a parameter as variable. Variables are kinda label for the memory that stores the actual data. Pointers stored the address of the variables. References are alias for the variables.
