What is the difference between Groovy and declarative pipeline?

How do I convert a scripted pipeline to declarative?
Let’s start by converting the Scripted Pipeline straight to Declarative. Select where to run this Pipeline, in this case "any" agent, regardless of label. Declarative automatically performs a checkout of source code on the agent, whereas Scripted Pipeline users must explicitly call checkout scm.
