Implementation of Heap using Arrays in C?

Question

Can someone help me with the code and algo?

Answer 1

Heap is nothing but a part of RAM.
It is used only when you are trying to allocate a memory dynamically.
So, Through "malloc" and "calloc" system call you can allocate a memory dynamically.
So, When ever you allocating memory through 'malloc" and "calloc" memory has been given from Heap.

Example;
if you want an integer array of 10 elements.
then you will need 40bytes. (size of element (4) * total no of element (10))

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
  int *p;
  p = (int*)malloc(40);  // p = (int*)calloc(10,4);
}

I think question is on heap data structure. Check if you want to modify your response.

Do you like to correct the implementation so that it helps the bigger mass.

No.. Sir.. I have no idea about it...

No issue let me give a try when I am free.
