Hi,

malloc is "memory allocation" which allocates the memory dynamically and stores a certain number of integers, print them out, then releases the used memory using free.

calloc is similar to malloc, but the values stored in the allocated memory space is zero by default.

If you've allocated a certain number of bytes for an array and later you want to add values to it. You could copy everything into a larger array, which is inefficient, or you can allocate more bytes using realloc, without losing your data. That means reallocationg the data.
