malloc() is a allocated 1 unit data type.it is a one argument
function .malloc allocate bytes of memory .
calloc() is a allocated sizeof data type .it is a two
argument .

Answer / priya

malloc() allocates bytes of memory for a single block
whereas calloc() allocates blocks of memory for multiple
blocks

Answer / vijay r15

malloc creates the
single block of gn
size by user. Malloc
takes 1ly 1 arg.

Calloc creates
multiple block of gn
size. It will
initialize the
reserved memory block
to zero. Calloc takes
2 arguments

Answer / dilip k. singh(dks)

Malloc:
1. Takes only 1 argument- the size of the memory block to
be allocated.
2. Allocates memory as a single contiguous block.
3. Will fail if a single contiguous memory block of
required size is not available.

Calloc:
1. Takes two arguments - the number of memory blocks needed
and the size of each memory block.
2. It may or may not allocate a single contiguous block,
thus will not fail if a single contiguous memory block
of required size is not available.
3. Initialises the memory blocks to 0.
sUMMARY:
malloc() allocates 1 unit(datatype) of memory each time it
is called so to allocate memory for a file read char by
char allocating memory each time for a char till EOF.
calloc allocates sizeof(datatype) bytes to the no of
elements in the file, where by the user can specify the
file size as the second arguement.
char *malloc(sizeof(datatype) )
char *calloc(sizeof(datatype), num of elements)
calloc() is more efficient as memory is allocated in 1
cycle so fewer clock cycles, more faster executiop.

Answer / venkateswarlupanidapu

malloc occupies byte of space in memory location and holds
only one argument of data bytes.
calloc occupies and holds 2 bytes of memory in address
location with arguments databytes,number of data bytes.
calloc occupies in structure of blocks and malloc allocates
in struncture of databytes.

Answer / rinky

Answer / divya sharma

malloc takes the single argument nd calloc takes two argument
malloc initialize byte of memory while calloc initialize the
block of memory

Answer / md ajij

1.malloc() allocate one block of space in memory , argument
of the malloc is the size of the block.
where as calloc() allocate multiple blocks in the memory
,argument of the malloc() is the size of a block and number
of blocks.

2. malloc() takes garbage value at the initial time where
initial value of calloc() is zero.

Answer / naresh guguloth(iiit,basar)b09

malloc():-
-------
It is used to allocate memory for one variable only.
int*hi=(int*)malloc(sizeof(int));
calloc():-
It is used to allocate memory for any array.
int*bye=(int*)calloc(sizeof(int),10)

Answer / bavithra

malloc() doesnot initialize the allocated memory
calloc() initializes the allocated memory to ZERO

What does. int *x[](); means ?
