C Program to demonstrate dynamic memory allocation example.

Write a C Program to demonstrate dynamic memory allocation example.
Dynamic memory allocation means you can allocate or relocate (manipulate) the memory at the run time, using malloc, calloc, and realloc functions.
Using malloc, We can allocate block of memory for a variable
Using calloc function, We can allocate multiple blocks of memory for a variable.
We can alter, reassign the allocated memory using the realloc function.
We can releasing the allocated memory using the free function. Read more about C Programming Language .
