malloc() vs calloc()

Question

What is the deference between the both
They are do the same think theoretically (allocates contiguous bloces of memory)
malloc takes the size in byte
Calloc takes a number of items and the size of type
When I can NOT use malloc and when I can't use calloc

Answer 1

yes ‎‏‪ABADA S‬‏‎ , malloc nd calloc do same thing that is used to allocate memory dynamically for c language... difference of argument in malloc and calloc is already described by you..
main difference is that malloc just allocates memory block nd returns to us where as calloc first allocates memory block and then initialise it with zero.... so, calloc takes a bit more time as it initialise also compared to malloc.
