malloc returns a void pointer. It needs to be cast to char*
before allocating it to char* variable.
char *p = (char *)malloc(10); should do fine.

Just came across this question, felt worth sharing, so here it is I want you to make a C/C++ program that for any positive integer n will print all the positive integers from 1 up to it and then back again! Let's say n=5 I want the program to print: 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1. Too easy you say? Okay then... You can ONLY USE: 1 for loop 1 printf/cout statement 2 integers( i and n) and as many operations you want. NO if statements, NO ternary operators, NO tables, NO pointers, NO functions!
