malloc() and calloc() are used to allocate space in memory but one difference is there allocating methods.
malloc() : malloc(int) only passing one arguments int allocates 2 bytes.
calloc() : calloc(int,5) passing two arguments int allocates 2 bytes, also 5 times 2 bytes will allocates.

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.
