Re: calloc and malloc function 14 Years Ago by Narue calloc is essentially this: [code=c] void *calloc ( size_t n, size_t size ) { void *base = malloc ( n * size ); if ( base != NULL ) memset ( base, 0, n * size ); return base; } [/code] The difference is that the bytes are set to zero with calloc and left as-is with malloc.
