| Item | Value | | Header file | stdlib.h | | Declaration | void *malloc(size_t size); | | Return | returns a pointer to the memory. If there is insufficient memory, malloc() returns a null pointer. |
|
It is important to verify that the return value is not null before using it. |
Allocate sufficient memory to hold structures of type addr: |
#include<stdio.h>
struct addr {
char name[40];
char street[40];
char city[40];
char state[3];
char zip[10];
};
main()
{
struct addr *p;
p = malloc(sizeof(struct addr));
if(p==NULL) {
printf("Allocation Error\n");
exit(1);
}
return p;
}
