Answers to questions on dynamic memory allocation
- What is the most significant difference between malloc and
calloc?
calloc initialises the space to all zeros, while malloc leaves
it as it is.
- How does malloc rquire you to specify how much space in the
heap you require and how can you find this out?
It requies you to give a number of bytes. This can be determined by using
the library function sizeof.
