Can u please further explain the following statement....

"Don't cast return value of malloc() in C. It can hide the
non-inclusion of it's prototype, (by way of failure to include
stdlib.h), and, on some implementations, can result in nasty
crashes during runtime."

I am unable to understand the intricacies of the above statement.

It's in the FAQ. Don't use silly abbreviations such as 'u'.
