Answer:
In the following code, you can see the usage of malloc.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void) {
int* numberPointer1 = NULL;
int* numberPointer2 = NULL;
numberPointer1 = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int *));
numberPointer2 = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int *));
*numberPointer1 = 44;
*numberPointer2 = 99;
printf("numberPointer1 = %d, numberPointer2 = %d\n", *numberPointer1, *numberPointer2);
free(numberPointer1);
free(numberPointer2);
return 0;
}
Explanation:
Malloc allocates memory in the heap according to the input size and returns a pointer to the location where it was allocated, with an extra, it clears all allocated space.
