Answer Posted / sanish joseph
both malloc and new functions are used for dynamic memory
allocations and the basic difference is: malloc requires a
special "typecasting" when it allocates memory for eg. if
the pointer used is the char pointer then after the
processor allocates memory then this allocated memory needs
to be typecasted to char pointer i.e (char*).but new does
not requires any typecasting. Also, free is the keyword used
to free the memory while using malloc and delete the keyword
to free memory while using new, otherwise this will lead the
memory leak.
