What is the difference between malloc() and calloc()?

Basically there is no difference between the two besides calloc() zero-initializes the buffer, while malloc() leaves the memory uninitialized.

hi, thevyakar

There are two major differences between malloc and calloc in C programming language: first, in the number of arguments.

The malloc() takes a single argument, while calloc() takess two. Second, malloc() does not initialize the memory allocated, while calloc() initializes the allocated memory to ZERO.

Thank you all for your answers :)
