How do I use stack and heap in C?

How do I use stack and heap in C?

In C, the stack is used for static memory allocation, while the heap is used for dynamic memory allocation. Would you like examples?

Yes, please provide examples for both.

For stack allocation, you can declare a variable like this: int a;. For heap allocation, use int *b = malloc(sizeof(int));.

What happens if I forget to free the heap memory?

Forgetting to free heap memory can lead to memory leaks, which may cause your program to consume more memory over time.

How can I avoid memory leaks in my C programs?

To avoid memory leaks, always pair every malloc with a free when the memory is no longer needed.
