just copying pre-existing possible answer from somewhere.

There's a forum based off this sentence alone btw, It's called StackOverflow.

Yes.

Depends on how is used. It should be used as crutch by people who know how to code and verify the results.

While I tend to agree to this, in practice the line moves by the person judging and haters are going to hate anyway.

what is malloc

According to Wikipedia:
"malloc is a function in the C programming language that allocates a specified number of bytes of memory and returns a pointer to the allocated space. If the allocation fails, it returns NULL."

what is malloc

When a programmer and a computer want to allocate a memory baby to store something on the heap, they call the malloc function. The malloc function is like the stork. The programmer and the computer (the Daddy and Mommy in this example) call the stork and it allocates a baby and brings it in a sack we call a pointer. After that, just like any good parent or programmer, we hope the kid doesn't get screwed up and we remembered to call free and they don't just hang around taking up space.
