You use a 2-D array with malloc the same way you use any other structure or scalar with malloc. The malloc library call takes a single argument of type size_t (in bytes) and returns a void* pointer to a region of memory that is suitably aligned for any supported data type. An example using the 2-D array...
int *myArray[10][20];
myArray = malloc (sizeof (myArray));
if (myArray == NULL) {...exception processing...};
Note that a 2-D array is really the same as a 1-D array - its a linear region of memory - its just that the compiler does address arithmetic for you.

How do you declare an N-Dimensional array using Malloc?
#include <stdlib.h> int **array1 = malloc(nrows * sizeof(int *)); for(i = 0; i < nrows; i++) array1[i] = malloc(ncolumns * sizeof(int));
What is a malloc function in C programming with example?
The malloc() function is part of a class of functions that deal with the allocation of memory on the heap. int *a = malloc (sizeof (int) * 100); /* allocate 100 int's */ if (a == NULL) {...} /* deal with possible malloc failure */ /* use a, either as pointer or as array of 100 ints */ free (a); /* release memory back to the library */
How can we create an unsized array to c programme?
Use a pointer... int a*; a = malloc(sizeof(int)*100); //allocate space for 100 elements free(a); a = malloc(sizeof(int)*1000); // allocate space for 1000 elements free(a);

What is the difference between Malloc and calloc in C and JAVA?
In C, malloc is used to reserve a predetermined size of memory. void * malloc ( size_t size ); calloc is used to reserve a chunk of memory large enough to store num elements, each of a predetermined size. void * calloc ( size_t num, size_t size ); To create a char array of size 10 you can do it in one of two ways: char* mChars = malloc( 10 * sizeof(char) ); char* cChars = calloc( 10, sizeof(char) ); There is no concept of malloc or calloc in Java.
What is really meant by malloc and where you will use this malloc?
malloc is a function of the standard c library (stdlib) and it is abbreviation for memory allocate. What this function does is allocates memory in the RAM of computer to store variable data in it. You will use it whenever you need a place to store you temporary data such as an array or structure. To use malloc all you have to do is call malloc and tell it the size of the memory you want. It will then return a pointer to that memory. persumabely if it fails it returns NULL.

Difference between 1D array and 2D arrays?
1d array contains single row and multiple columns and 2d array contains multiple row and multiple columns. 2d array is a collection of 1d array placed one below another,while 1d array is simple a collection of elements.

How do you free two dimensional dynamic array?
Depends on how you allocated it: every malloc has to to have a corresponding free.
Is there any overhead issues if you make a 2D array arr28 rather than making a 1D array arr16 of size 16 Any memory issues or execution differences between the two?
2D array of size 2x8 and 1D array of size 16
How do you use dynamic memory allocation in getting a array?
Its simple void main() { int *arr[10]; arr=(int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*10); ...... ...... ...... ...... free(arr); }

Can you delete array?
If the array was allocated with new, then delete it with delete []. Otherwise, if it was allocated with malloc() then delete it with free. Otherwise, you cannot delete it because it was pre-allocated at link-load time by the compiler.
How do you pass a 2D array in a functions?
if you were to call a function you would write it as: function(array[][], int pretend, double pretend2); arrays will always be passed by reference, not by value.
