Introduction to Memory
Memory plays a crucial role in storing and managing data during the execution of a program. Understanding how memory is managed is fundamental to writing optimized, efficient and error free code. Memory can broadly be categorized into two main areas.
-
The Stack: is a region of memory that stores local variables and function call information. The stack is managed by the compiler and automatically allocates and deallocates memory for variables as they come in and out of scope.
-
The Heap: is a dynamic and more flexible memory area. It is used for allocating memory at runtime, enabling the creation of data structures with a size that is not known until the program is executed.
1. What are the advantages of using static allocation in stack memory?
2. What are the advantages of using dynamic allocation in heap memory?
