Olejniczak) Newsgroups: comp.lang.c Subject: Is malloc() or calloc() "better"? Message-ID: Date: 30 Dec 88 10:31:58 GMT Organization: University of Miami (IR) Lines: 10 It seems to me that most programmers, in giving examples here, use malloc() instead of calloc(). It seems to me that, with the headache I always get thinking of C strings, calloc would be a more common procedure. Would someone please enlighten me why is malloc so much more popular? ---- Wishing you Joyful Holidays and a Happy New Year!
