We doesn't functions like dealloc() in "C" and the remaining options are to allocate memory so may the answer is free().

How is different between malloc() and calloc() what is function of both? How it work?

Krishna said:   1 decade ago
Both allocate storage memory but the difference is malloc process single argument so just specify storage space while calloc process double argument so specify no. Of variable and space needed for that variable.
