Memory Management


Memory management is the process of handling how much memory a program uses through allocation, reallocation and deallocation (often referred to as "freeing"). We will introduce each of these topics in the following chapters.
Understanding how memory works in C is important. When you create a basic variable, C will automatically reserve space for that variable. An int variable for example, will typically occupy 4 bytes of memory, while a double variable will occupy 8 bytes of memory.

 42 day  C Structures The structure in C is a user-defined data type that can be used to group items of possibly different types into a single type. The struct keyword is used to define the structure in the C programming language. The items in the structure are called its member and they can be of any valid data type. Additionally, the values of a structure are stored in contiguous memory locations. Syntax struct structure_name {     data_type member_name1;     data_type member_name1;     ....     .... };
