11.1.1.Memory Allocation
  1. The functions for allocation of memory: malloc, relloc, and calloc.
  2. The functions return the pointers to void, which can be typecast to any data type.
  3. These functions take the input as the size of memory requirement.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

main(){

    int *base;
    int i,j;
    int cnt=0;
    int sum=0;
    printf("how many integers you have to store \n");
    scanf("%d",&cnt);
    base = (int *)malloc(cnt * sizeof(int));
    printf("the base of allocation is %16lu \n",base);
    if(!base)
        printf("unable to allocate size \n");
    else {
        for(j=0;j<cnt;j++)
           *(base+j)=5;
    }
    sum = 0;
    for(j=0;j<cnt;j++)
        sum = sum + *(base+j);
    printf("total sum is %d\n",sum);
    free(base);
    printf("the base of allocation is %16lu \n",base);
    base = (int *)malloc(cnt * sizeof(int));
    printf("the base of allocation is %16lu \n",base);
    base = (int *)malloc(cnt * sizeof(int));
    printf("the base of allocation is %16lu \n",base);
    base = (int *)calloc(10,2);
    printf("the base of allocation is %16lu \n",base);
}
