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.


	Pros
Automatic Management		Dynamic Allocation
Faster Access		Variable Size
Deterministic Lifetime		Persistent Lifetime
No Explicit Deallocation		Suitable for Large Data Structures
Quick and Predictable Allocation		Flexible Usage
	Cons
Limited Size		Manual Management
Limited Flexibility		Slower Access and Deallocation
Variables Scoped		Risk of Memory Leaks
Potential for Stack Overflow		Fragmentation Issues
Not Suitable for Large Data Structures		Increased Complexity in Code
