malloc(),calloc() and realloc() functions?

[sainsalex]

Is there anyone who could explain about malloc(),calloc() and realloc() functions? Thank you so very much!

well malloc() is for dynamic allocation of memory in C.

Functions: these allocate a space of memory for a pointer variable but here are some difference between them - one just hold the space on HEAP for the variable, one initialize that space with null value, and one hold another memory zone for the same variable.

Good luck with your C programming! :D

malloc is dynamic memory allocation,it allocates the memory and initialize garbage value.

calloc is similar to malloc but only difference is initialize zero
realloc() changes the size of the memory block pointed to by ptr to size bytes.

malloc() is a standard library function used in C programming language for performing dynamic memory allocations.

calloc() is function is related to malloc. When malloc() returns a memory block to the programmer for use, it is uninitialized. calloc() function allocates the memory and initilise it.

realloc() function is used to make a block of memory which can be same in content and aldo be copied.
