DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION

• Dynamic memory allocation

– we  Can create dynamic arrays using dynamic memory alloaction.

 

 

•  calloc(nmembers, size)

– nmembers – number of members

– size – size of each member

– it Returns pointer to dynamic array for memory allocation.

 

• realloc(pointerToObject, newSize)

– pointerToObject – pointer to the object being reallocated

– newSize – new size of the object

– Returns pointer to reallocated memory

– Returns NULL if cannot allocate space

– If newSize = 0, object freed

–If pointerToObject = 0, acts like malloc
