Dynamic memory allocation using malloc in C

If you are a beginner in programming it may be that you got some trouble to define an array of large size.As if you are trying to allocate an array of size (10^7===10000000) like 

                                     int a[10000000];
you must got an run time error called segmentation fault.To overcome these difficulties we use a malloc function to declare a run time memory.

First we have to include header file "malloc.h" and then the following lines of codes.
#include<malloc.h>
int main()
{
     int *a;
     a=(int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*10000000); //equivalent to int a[10000000] without segmentation fault

}

If you want to declare a two dimensional array like....
int a[m][n];

Where m and n are very large number then write the following lines of codes.
int main()
{
     int **a,i;
     a=(int **)malloc(sizeof(int)*m); 
      
     for(i=0;i<n;++i)
    a[i]=(int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*n);

 // The above code same as int a[m][n]; without segmentation fault;

}

Note: Don't forget to include the "malloc.h" header file at the top of source code. and please comment If you find anything ambiguous or anything want to suggest.

Move like a Ninja on Terminal Console

If you are in IT and do a lot of stuff on terminal, this is the post for you. In the following post, we will explore various key shortcuts to jump and edit on console. Note:- Short keys may behave differnt on differnt OS systems. These keys best work with Linux sytem, For mac OS you have to enable Option key as Meta key in case of Alt . I have never checked these on windows, Please share your experinece with windows in comments. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit Control Move forward one char: Ctrl + f Move backward one char: Ctrl + b Move forward one word: Alt + f Move backward one word: Alt + b Move to end: Ctrl + e #Like End Move to start: Ctrl + a #Like Home Jump toggle between current location and start: Ctrl + xx Delete forward one char: Ctrl + d #Like Delete Delete backward one char: Ctrl + h #Like Backspace Delete forward one word: Alt + d Delete backward one word: Ctrl + w Delete to end: Ctrl + k Delete to start: Ctrl + u Undo: Ct...
