C++ Malloc: Memory Allocation Explained

The malloc function in C++ is used to allocate a specified size of memory space and return a pointer to that memory space. This function is a standard library function in C++ and is defined in the header file . The memory space allocated by the malloc function is on the heap and will not automatically initialize the values of that memory space. After using this memory space, it is necessary to call the free function to release the memory space in order to prevent memory leaks. In C++, it is more recommended to use the new and delete keywords for dynamic memory allocation and deallocation, as they are safer and more convenient methods.
