In certain programming languages including C and Pascal , a heap is an area of pre-reserved computer main storage ( memory ) that a program process can use to store data in some variable amount that won't be known until the program is running. ... In Pascal, a subheap is a portion of aheap that is treated like a stack. https://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/heap

Rewa Mathur... As someone who has personally explained this many times over the years, I really liked how clear, concise, and thorough your explanation was. Not too much or too little details. It was just right. 😉 I hope to see more of your contributions in the community. 😎
