free(p);
} /* main */
OUTPUT
Memory contains: MADRAS
Memory now contains: CHENNAI
EXPLANATION: The function malloc() function 6 bytes are allocated to character pointer p. The character pointer is initialised with string MADRAS. To store more than 6 characters, we need to allocate more bytes to pointer 'p'. Using realloc() function memory, allocation takes place. After reallocation the pointer contains 7 bytes. The pointer p is again initialised with CHENNAI. The output display contents of p before and after reallocation. The free() function release the memory allocation.
