malloc() - allocating a block of memory dynamically and sets all the bits to zero.
Eg:
ptr = (cast-type*)malloc(byte_size);
calloc() - allocating multiple block of memory dynamically.
Eg:
ptr=(cast-type*)calloc(n, ele_size);
n-->no of blocks

calloc() - allocating multiple block of memory dynamically.

ptr=(cast-type*)calloc(n, ele_size);

malloc(): Allocates the specified number of bytes
calloc(): Allocates the specified number of bytes and initializes them to zero these are present in the standard library.

malloc: Memory allocation function ptr.
calloc: Allocate space for an array.
realloc: Memory allocation that modifies the size of previously allocated space.

malloc will return an uninitialized chunk of memory for you to use.
calloc ( clear alloc ) will attempt to initialize that chunk of memory to all bits zero.

The malloc() is used to assign the single block of memory at run time and the calloc() is used to assign the multiple blocks of memory at runtime.

Memory is allocated for the functions and its variables.
Dealloc is delete the after complete operations memory resource is deallocated.
