AIM: To study dynamic memory allocation in C

Theory:
Define dynamic memory allocation
Advantageous of dynamic memory allocation
Explain Dynamic memory allocation functions in C

Problem Statement:

Write a program to dynamically allocate memory for an array of integers and calculate their
average.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {

int n;

int *arr;

int sum = 0;

float average;

// Input the number of elements

printf("Enter the number of elements: ");

scanf("%d", &n);

// Dynamically allocate memory for the array

arr = (int *)malloc(n * sizeof(int));

if (arr == NULL) {

printf("Memory allocation failed!\n");

return 1;

// Input the elements of the array

printf("Enter %d integers:\n", n);


for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

printf("Element %d: ", i + 1);

scanf("%d", &arr[i]);

// Calculate the sum of the elements

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

sum += arr[i];

// Calculate the average

average = (float)sum / n;

// Display the average

printf("\nThe average of the array elements is: %.2f\n", average);

// Free the allocated memory

free(arr);

return 0;
