What are the different types of memory in C?

In C, memory can be categorized into several types: stack, heap, static, and code memory. Would you like to know more about each type?

Yes, please explain stack and heap memory.

Stack memory is used for static memory allocation, where variables are allocated and deallocated automatically. Heap memory, on the other hand, is used for dynamic memory allocation, allowing you to allocate memory at runtime using functions like malloc.

What about static and code memory?

Static memory is allocated for variables that retain their value even after the function exits, while code memory contains the compiled code of the program itself.

How do I manage memory effectively in C?

To manage memory effectively in C, always free dynamically allocated memory using free(), avoid memory leaks, and use tools like Valgrind to check for memory issues.
