• It has the information of memory
allocation/freeing functions
printf() • It is used to print the strings, integer,
character etc on the output screen

scanf() • It reads the character, string, integer

etc from the keyboard

getc() • It reads the character from the file

 The very first line is preprocessor command, which tells a C compiler to
#include <stdio.h> file before going to actual compilation.
 The next line int main() is the main function where the program execution
begins
 The next line printf(…) is another function available in C which causes the
message “Hello World!” to be displayed on the screen.
 The next line return 0; terminates the main() function and returns the value
0.

functions
malloc() • This function is used to allocate
space in memory during the
execution of the program
calloc() • This function is also like malloc()
function. But calloc() initializes the
allocated
realloc() • This function modifies the allocated
memory size by malloc() and calloc()
functions to new size
free() • This function frees the allocated
memory by malloc(), calloc(),
realloc() functions and returns the
