Malloc

// if you initialize a pointer and want to use it like an array, 
// you have to claim the space you use, 
// that is what the memory-allocation-funtion (malloc) does;

// exaple for that: str(0) belongs to you, but str(1), str(2), ... do not
// if you do not use the malloc funtion; 
// you can access it, but it could be used by another programm;

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void func(void)
{
    char *str = malloc(sizeof(char) * 5); // sizeof --> char needs 
    // a specific space per value saved;
    // *5 --> 5 is the number of values in the array;

    char *str1 = malloc( 5 * sizeof *str1 );//      |
    char *str2 = malloc( sizeof(char[5]) );//       | other syntaxes

    if(str == NULL) { exit(1); } // malloc returns NULL 
    // if it could not allocate the memory;
    str[0] = 'H';
    *(str+1) = 'e';	// used like pointer
    str[2] = 'y';	// used like array
    *(str+3) = '!';
    str[4] = '\0';

    printf("%s\n", str);

    free(str); // frees the memory allocated to str;
    // if you free the memory too early and try to access str later
    // that is called a memory leak;
}

int main(void)
{
    func();
    return 0;

Malloc in c

// Let's allocate enough space on the heap for an array storing 4 ints

intArray = (int *) malloc(4 * sizeof(int)); // A pointer to an array of ints

intArray[0] = 10;
intArray[1] = 20;
