A bootstrap is the process of starting up a computer. It also refers to the program that initializes the operating system (OS) during start-up.

It referred to a bootstrap load button that was used to initiate a hardwired bootstrap program, or smaller program that executed a larger program such as the OS.

As against malloc(), calloc() needs two arguments, the number of elements  to be allocated and the size of each element. For example,

 p = (int *) calloc (10, sizeof (int));

would allocate space for a 10- integer array. Additionally, calloc() would also set each of this element with a value 0.

Thus the above call to calloc() is equivalent to:

p = (int *) malloc (10 * sizeof (int));

memset (p, 0, 10 * sizeof( int ));

The most common two letter combinations are called as digrams. e.g. th, in, er, re and an. The most common three letter combinations are called as trigrams. e.g. the, ing,and, and ion.

Yes, using the realloc() function as shown below:

main()

{

        int *p;

        p = ( int *) malloc (20) ;

        t = p;

        t = (int *) realloc ( p, 40);

        if ( t == NULL )

        Printf (" Cannot reallocate, leaves previous allocated region unchanged ");

       else

       {

              if ( p ==t )

              ;  / * the array expanded at the same region */

             else

            { 

                 free ( p ); / * deallocate the original array */

                 p = t;  /* set p to newly allocated region */

             }

      }

}
