To dynamically allocate memory, use the following function (stdlib.h I believe):
int *variable1 = malloc(sizeof(int));
That varies from each programming language. As a matter of fact, many languages do not put a limit on the maximum size of a variable. It will handle any string, integer, resource, pointer, or other type size, as long as it fits into the memory of the machine running the process.
Memory allocation is the act of reserving a chunk of memory for some set of data. In programming terms, this is normally done by declaring a variable. Large arrays of data will require large blocks of contiguous memory, which the programmer must request from the operating system.
There are two types of memory allocations. 1. Static memory allocation 2. Dynamic memory allocation
Linked lists use dynamic memory allocation (also called "heap memory allocation", as the linked list is stored in heap memory).

Static memory allocation occurs at compile time where as dynamic memory allocation occurs at run time.
Contiguous memory allocation in C programming refers to the assigning of consecutive memory blocks to a process. Contiguous memory allocation is one of the oldest and most popular memory allocation schemes in programming.
Partitioned allocation is a fixed memory allocation technique which memory spaces are divided into smaller fixed partition, while Relocatable partitioning use variable and repartitioning technique
The heap is a section of memory controlled by a program used for dynamic variable allocation. Heap size is the size of that section of memory.

in contiguous allocation overhead during execution of a program.in non contiguous allocation address translation is performed during execution of a program..
Segmented page allocation is a type of memory management that uses base and bound registers to determine memory faults, similar to dynamic page allocation. More importantly it is different to dynamic page allocation since the entire process doesn't have to be in memory, similar to using virtual memory paging where the program is broken into pieces. Unlike virtual memory paging, the maximum virtual memory size is limited to the size of physical memory.
Static Memory Allocation: Allocating the total memory requirements that a data structure might need all at once without regard for the actual amount needed at execution time. Dynamic Memory Allocation: The opposite strategy of static memory allocation - Dynamic Memory Allocation, involves allocating memory as-needed.
Linked lists use dynamic memory allocation (also called "heap memory allocation", as the linked list is stored in heap memory).
Paging is a memory management scheme that permits the physical- address space of process to be noncontiguous.
