It is the files which helps us to use some library files in our program. And number of files are pre-created and stored as header file. We can use those files by giving the line #include<stdio.h>
".h" is the extension of header file.

int *x;
x = (int *)malloc(n * sizeof(int));
This will allocate n element array of int type elements.

malloc() simply assigns a memory block to a pointer while calloc() assign block as well as in initialize all its elements to zero.

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.
