There are two major differences between malloc and calloc in C programming language: first, in the number of arguments. The malloc() takes a single argument, while calloc() takess two. Second, malloc() does not initialize the memory allocated, while calloc() initializes the allocated memory to ZERO.
Both malloc and calloc are used in C language for dynamic memory allocation they obtain blocks of memory dynamically. Dynamic memory allocation is a unique feature of C language that enables us to create data types and structures of any size and length suitable to our programs.
