Syntax
#include <stdlib.h>
void *malloc (Size) void free (Pointer)
void *realloc (Pointer Size) void *calloc (NumberOfElements ElementSize )
Size
Specifies a number of bytes of memory.
Pointer
Points to the block of memory that was returned by the
NumberOfElements Specifies the number
of elements in the malloc or calloc subroutines. The Pointer parameter points
array. to the first (lowest) byte address of the block.
ElementSize Specifies the size of
each element in the
array.

malloc is dynamic memory allocation it allocates the memory and initialize garbage value.
calloc is similar to malloc but only difference is initialize zero

malloc- take one argument i.e(malloc(sizeof(int)*10) and allocate bytes of memory.

calloc-take two argument i.e(calloc(no.of.var size of each var) and allocate block of memory.

1. malloc takes only the size of the memory block to be allocated as input parameter.
2. malloc allocates memory as a single contiguous block.
3. if a single contiguous block cannot be allocated then malloc would fail.
1. calloc takes two parameters: the number of memory blocks and the size of each block of
memory
2. calloc allocates memory which may/may not be contiguous.
3. all the memory blocks are initialized to 0.
4. it follows from point 2 that calloc will not fail if memory can beallocated in non-contiguous
blocks when a single contiguous blockcannot be allocated.

Correct ? 241 No
Answe Actually c is a procedural 3 Rajeev Kumar

programming language which
r
cann't face the real world problem.
# 2 It has some drawback
like a global data is shared by all
function and if in a
large program it is find out
difficult that which function
uses which data.
On the other hand c++ is an object

oriented programming
language which eliminate some
pitfall of conventional or
procedural programming language. It
is a concept or
approach for designing a new
software. It is nothing to do
with any programming language
although a programming
language which support the oops
concept to make it easier
to implement.
This is the main different between

c and c++.

Answe In object oriented programming, the 4 Sumit Gupta ,

programmer can solve
r Bangalore
problems by breaking them down into
# 5 real-life objects (it
presented the programmer with an
opportunity to mirror real
life). What is an object? This
topic is dealt with
extensively in the chapter on
‘Objects and Classes’ but a
brief introduction is provided
here.
Consider the category of cars. All

cars have some common
features (for example all cars have
four wheels, an engine,
some body colour, seats etc.). Are
all cars the same? Of
course not. A Fiat and a Ford
aren’t the same but they are
called as cars in general. In this
example cars will form a
class and Ford (or Fiat) will be an
object.
For those people who know C

programming, it would be useful
to know the differences between C
and C++. Basically C++
includes everything present in C
but the use of some C
features is deprecated in C++.
*C does not have classes and

objects (C does not support
OOP)
*Structures in C cannot have
functions.
*C does not have namespaces
(namespaces are used to
avoid name collisions).
*The I/O functions are entirely
different in C and C++
(ex: printf( ), scanf( ) etc. are
part of the C language).
*You cannot overload a function
in C (i.e. you cannot
have 2 functions with the same name
in C).
*Better dynamic memory
management operators are
available in C++.
*C does not have reference
variables (in C++ reference
variables are used in functions).
*In C constants are defined as
macros (in C++ we can
make use of ‘const’ to declare a
constant).
*Inline functions are not
available in C.

C++ is Object Oriented Language
that means entire

Answe DIFFERENCE b/w C and C++ 3 Aashish Salotra

1.) C was the C++ predecessor.
r
As its name implies, alot of
# 19 C remains in C++. Although not
actually being more powerful
than C, C++ allows the programmer
to more easily manage and
operate with Objects, using an OOP
(Object Oriented
Programming) concept.
2.) C++ allows the programmer

to create classes, which are
somewhat similar to C structures.
However, to a class can be
assigned methods, functions
associated to it, of various
prototypes, which can access and
operate within the class,
somewhat like C functions often
operate on a supplied
handler pointer.
3.) Although it is possible to

implement anything which C++
could implement in C, C++ aids to
standardize a way in which
objects are created and managed,
whereas the C programmer
who implements the same system has
alot of liberty on how to
actually implement the internals,
and style among
programmers will vary alot on the
design choices made.
4.) In C, some will prefer the

handler-type, where a main
function initializes a handler, and
that handler can be
supplied to other functions of the
library as an object to
operate on/through. Others will
even want to have that
handler link all the related
function pointers within it
which then must be called using a
convention closer to C++.
5.) In C, there's only one
major memory allocation function:
malloc. You use it to allocate both
single elements and
arrays. In C++, however, memory
allocation for arrays is
somewhat different than for single
objects; you use the
new[] operator, and you must match
calls to new[] with calls
to delete[] (rather than to
delete).
6.) C++ applications are

generally slower at runtime, and
are much slower to compile than C
programs. The low-level
used even if C++ has alot
of popularity, and will probably
continue to be used in
projects where size and speed are
primary concerns, and
then).
7.) In C++, you are free to

leave off the statement 'return
0;' at the end of main; it will be
provided automatically
but in C, you must manually add it.
8.) A function can be declared

in C as int fun( );. This
means that fun( ) is a function
without any argument or any
number of arguments. But in C++,
this means that the
function with no argument at all.
9.) C++ support operator

overloading but c doesn't support
operator overloading.

and c++ ---
r
1. C is a PROCEDURE oriented
# 21 programming language.
-> C++ is a OBJECT oriented
programming language.
2. We can do programming through
STRUCTURE,but NOT with the
help of the CLASS.
-> We can do programming through
CLASS in c++.
3. C is a LOW level language.
->C++ is a HIGH level language.
4. C is a TOP->BOTTOM programming
approch.
->C++ is a BOTTOM->TOP programming
approch.
5. C is a collection of FUNCTIONS.
-> C++ is a collection of FUNCTIONS
and/or CLASS.
6. c language main focuses on
PROCEDURES.
-> c++ programming main focuses on
OBJECTS.
7. In C,DATA can be MOVE openly
around in the system from
function to function.
-> In C++,DATA is HIDDEn.It can not
be accessed by external
functions.
8.C can not support all the feature
of the C++.while c++
support all the features of C.
9. C NEEDS FORMAT CHARACTERS for
printing & scanning.
-> C++ DOES NOT REQUIRED FORMAT
SPECIFIER for printing and
scanning variable.
10. C variables are DECLARED in
declaration section.
-> C++ variables are DECLARED any
where in the program.
11. In C,we use PRINTF() ,SCANF()
as standard input/output
functions.
-> In C++,we can use COUT<< or
CIN>> as standard
input/output function.
12. In C,you can NOT OVERLOAD a
function.
-> In C++ ,you can OVERLOAD the
operator as well as
functions.
13. C does NOT have NAMESPACE for
avoid name collisions.
-> c++ has NAMESPACE feature.
14.C does NOT have REFERENCE
variables.
-> In C++ ,REFERENCE variables are
USED in functions.
15. In C,constants are defined as
'MACROS'.
-> We can make a use of 'CONST' TO
declare a constant.
16.In C program , the MAIN() should
NOT RETURN a value.
-> In C++,MAIN() should RETURN a
value.
17. C does NOT SUPPORT DEFAULT
arguments.
