what is the difference between calloc and malloc in c code example
Example 1: difference between malloc and calloc and realloc
if (!(int *ptr = malloc(sizeof(int) * NUM_ELEM))){
Example 2: what is the use of malloc in c
In C, the library function malloc is used to allocate a block of memory on the heap. The program accesses this block of memory via a pointer that malloc returns. When the memory is no longer needed, the pointer is passed to free which deallocates the memory so that it can be used for other purposes.
