Instructions:

$1$ Explain $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`$:

$-$ Describe the purpose of $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`.$

$-$ Explain the syntax and parameters of each function.

$-$ Discuss the differences between $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`$ in terms of memory allocation and

initialization.

$2.$ Define a Structure:

$-$ Create a simple C structure to represent a student, with fields for the student's name, age, and

GPA.

$3.$ Dynamic Memory Allocation with $`$malloc$()`$:

$-$ Write a C program that uses $`$malloc$()`$ to allocate memory for a single student structure. $-$ Assign values to the fields of the student structure.

$-$ Print the values of the student structure to verify the allocation and assignment.

$4.$ Dynamic Memory Allocation with $`$calloc$()`$:

$-$ Write a C program that uses $`$calloc$()`$ to allocate memory for an array of $5$ student structures. $-$ Assign values to the fields of each student structure in the array.

$-$ Print the values of each student structure to verify the allocation and assignment.

$5.$ Comparison and Conclusion:

$-$ Compare the usage of $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`$ in your examples.

$-$ Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each function based on your experience. $-$ Conclude with a summary of your findings.

Submission Requirements:

$-$ A written explanation $(1-2$ pages$)$ of $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`,$ including their syntax, parameters, and differences.

$-$ The C code for the structure definition and both examples $($using $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`).-$ A brief report $(1$ page$)$ comparing $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`$ and summarizing your findings.

Grading Criteria:

$-$ Clarity and completeness of the explanation of $`$malloc$()`$ and $`$calloc$()`.-$ Correctness and functionality of the C code for both examples.

$-$ Depth of comparison and analysis in the report.

$-$ Overall presentation and adherence to submission requirements.

This assignment will help you gain a practical understanding of dynamic memory allocation in C and how to effectively manage memory for complex data structures like structures. NO PLAGRISM
