A question about definition and declaration

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

I'm reading in a book and they use definition sometimes and declaration
sometimes.
I just want to use the correct terminologi when I talk about these kind of
things.

Below is an example from a book.
The two rows that begin with public delegate void...
and
public event MoveRequest ...
what is each one according to you. Is it a definition or declaration?

class GameController
{
public delegate void MoveRequest(object sender, MoveRequestEventArgs e);
public event MoveRequest OnMoveRequest;
.... ... ...
}

They're both declarations. One is a delegate type declaration, and the
other is an event declaration.

These terms are synonymous.

To clarify Bob's statement, these terms are synonymous in Visual C#.
Some other languages, for example, C and C++, have difference between
Definition and Declaration.

Hello,

These terms are synonymous.

Even for Partial Methods?
