what is memory leak?

Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback



what is memory leak? ..

Answer / roshan.p.r.

Consider the following example..

int *p=new int[10];

here ten bytes of memory is allocated and the address is
stored in p. the only way to access this memory is via p.

now suppose if u allocate a new memory to p like

p=new int[20];

the previous address(10 bytes is lost we cant access it
again)because the only way that we had to access it was
pointer p and now a new address(20 bytes) is stored in p.

So we say there is a memory leak.

the best way to handle this is.

int *p=new int[10];
[]delete p;
p=0;
p=new int[20];

so in the above case we have first released the memory
pointed by p with delete function and then a new address is
assigned to it.

Memory leak is nothing but u create huge chunk of memory
with a malloc or any such mechanism and u never free that
manually which make the available free main memory in the

A banker has a seif with a cipher. Not to forget the cipher, he wants to write it coded as following: each digit to be replaced with the difference of 9 with the current digit. The banker chose a cipher. Decipher it knowing the cipher starts with a digit different than 9. I need to write a program that takes the cipher from the keyboard and prints the new cipher. I thought of the following: Take the input from the keyboard and put it into a string or an array. Go through the object with a for and for each digit other than the first, substract it from 9 and add it to another variable. Print the new variable. Theoretically I thought of it but I don't know much C. Could you give me any kind of hint, whether I am on the right track or not?
