malloc/calloc/realloc will return NULL
True - A C++ constructor cannot return a value.
Yes. Note: This is generally a bad idea. Using delete on something you malloc'ed or free on something you new'ed usually will cause Bad Things to happen.

calloc operator,malloc operator
void main() { int *x = malloc(sizeof(int) * 10); }
Hi, The difference between new and malloc: 1.The New is a operator however malloc is a function 2.New returns the object type and there is no typecasting required. In malloc type casting should be done as it returns a void*. 3. The new operator can be overloaded however there is no over loading in C and hence Malloc can not be overloaded. 4. Operater New asks for the number of objects to be allocated however in malloc it will ask you for the number of bytes to be allocated. 5. The New operater will return you a exception of memory is not available however in malloc it will return u a NULL. 6. New is a concept for dynamically allocation in OOPS(C++) however malloc is used in C. The difference between the delete and free is as follows: 1. delete is a operator and can be overloaded however free is a function and can not be overloaded. With Regards, Shashiraja Shastry
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.
malloc/calloc/realloc will return NULL
a functon that doesn't return anything has return type
True - A C++ constructor cannot return a value.
Memory is allocated by malloc from the heap.... so max mem = size of heap that is free...
void* malloc (size_t bytes); This means that malloc takes an argument which is the size of memory to allocate and returns a pointer to that memory which has been allocated. If the return value is NULL, then the request could not be satisfied. Each call to malloc must be balanced with a corresponding call to free, to release the memory. int pa = NULL; pa = (int*) malloc (sizeof(int) * 1000); /* allocate 1000 ints */ if (pa == NULL) throw exception... ... use pa free (pa); pa = NULL;
Although C++ inherits malloc/calloc, realloc and free from C, programmers are encouraged to use the object-oriented operators, new and delete instead. Not only are they much easier to use, they can also be used with primitive data types.
int min (int a, int b, int c) {if (a
malloc will return a 0 if memory is unable to be allocated. new on the other hand will either throw an exception or also return 0, depending on the compiler and the compiler settings.
