In what situation am I supposed to use malloc? I'm confused by when dynamic allocation should be used in C?

Generally there are three reaons to use dynamic allocation in C.

Malloc is generally used when the space requirements aren't known at compile-time, or when you need the object to persist beyond the scope that it was created in.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
