malloc is briefly termed as Memory ALLOCation ......
whenever we write a program in C we will declare some
variables or arrays for a size more than whatever we need ,
etc etc..... so some variables are getting used correctly
and in arrays only some of the memory spaces are getting
used because the user dont know how much spaces he is gonna
use.......so here some memory is getting wasted without
using it.... so there comes a concept called DYNAMIC MEMORY
ALLOCATION in C...
we will give the values for how much memory we need at the
run time of the program... but this concept also only 85%
efficient... this has three types :
1)malloc();
2)calloc();
3)realloc();
malloc() is a function present in ALLOC.H standard library
which is used to allocate memory at run time (ie) in single
or in blocks.....
the syntax is :
pointer_variable=(typecasting
datatype*)malloc(sizeof(datatype));
this pointer variable should be of same datatype as the
typecasting datatype........
thank u

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?
