Re: Bytes allocated by the code ??

how many bytes will be allocted by following code -

#include<stdio.h>
#define MAXROW 3
#define MAXCOL 4
int main(int argc,char **argv){
int (*p)[MAXCOL];
p=(int (*)[MAXCOL])malloc(sizeof(*p)*MAXROW);

Don't cast malloc (5th time today someone posted that...)

also

cdecl> explain int (*p)[]
declare p as pointer to array of int

p is a pointer to an array of MAXCOL ints. It isn't an array of
pointers [as you likely wanted].
