There are two differences.
First, is in the number of arguments.
Malloc() takes a single argument (memory required in bytes),
Calloc() needs two arguments.
Secondly, malloc() does not initialize the memory allocated, while
calloc() initializes the allocated memory to ZERO.


calloc() allocates a memory area, the length will be the product of its parameters. calloc fills the memory with ZERO's and returns a pointer to first byte. If it fails to locate enough space it returns a NULL pointer.
Syntax: ptr_var=(cast_type *)calloc(no_of_blocks , size_of_each_block);
i.e. ptr_var=(type *)calloc(n,s);

malloc() allocates a single block of memory of REQUSTED SIZE and returns a pointer to first byte. If it fails to locate requsted amount of memory it returns a null pointer.
Syntax: ptr_var=(cast_type *)malloc(Size_in_bytes);
