Malloc is the function which allocates the memory of specified size and returns the pointer of that memory.

Realloc , by the name itself it increases or decreases the size of the memory pointed(allocated by mallc,calloc,realloc) by that pointer.
if size is 0, then Realloc is equal as free function.
if ptr is 0, then Realloc is equal as malloc function.

>>> if ptr is 0, then Realloc is equal as malloc function.
Does realloc ( most of the time ) returns the same ptr value ?
