ya, this is the above syntax for malloc function........

ya i will clearly explain ,

let us take a small block of coding , here my aim is to get 'n' numbers and print the 'n' numbers ......

#include<alloc.h>
void main()
{
int n ,*pointer;
clrscr();
printf("enter the number of elements u r going to enter :");
scanf("%d",&n);
pointer=(int *)malloc(n*sizeof(int));


the above statement states that : , this function is requesting the OPERATING SYSTEM to allocate 'n' amount of memory of a data type integer. and since the return format of the malloc function is an address , so we are type casting as (int*)before malloc , and the returned starting address will be stored in the pointer variable (pointer) ..
this 'pointer' will have the starting address of the allocated memory dynamically...
that's all..

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%d",(pointer+i));
}
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
printf("%d\n",*(pointer+i));
getch();
}


thank u
