Pointer is the most important and powerful tool in C language. Pointer resolves many complicated problems easily but if you don’t have the sufficient knowledge of pointers, you will face problems like segmentation fault etc.
In this article, I will describe five common pointer mistakes in C programming which generally occurs.

Dynamic memory allocation in C is performed via a group of built-in functions malloc(), calloc(), realloc() and free(). Some text also refer Dynamic memory allocation as Runtime memory allocation.
Data at the centric level is most crucial part of every program that you have written. All programs contain memory allocation, deallocation and data manipulation. In this article, I am going to discuss about memory allocation and different ways to allocate memory in C.
