why do we use malloc in c code example
Example 1: malloc c
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int* memoireAllouee = NULL;
memoireAllouee = malloc(sizeof(int));
if (memoireAllouee == NULL) // Si l'allocation a échoué
{
exit(0); // On arrête immédiatement le programme
}
// On peut continuer le programme normalement sinon
return 0;
}
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.
