Easy Dynamic Memory Allocation
Solve in Playground →

Problem Statement

Write a C program that allocates memory dynamically, validates it, performs operations, frees the memory, and safely sets the pointer to NULL.

Input Format

An integer value.

Output Format

Print 'SAFE MEMORY CLEANED' upon successful deallocation.

Constraints

Standard integer limits

Sample Input

500

Sample Output

SAFE MEMORY CLEANED

Explanation

Demonstrates safe memory management practices by checking pointer validity, freeing heap allocation, and resetting pointer reference.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
    int val;
    if (scanf("%d", &val) == 1) {
        int *ptr = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int));
        // Write your code here to safely free memory and print confirmation
    }
    return 0;
}

Limits

  • Time Limit: 1s
  • Memory Limit: 256MB

Embedded C Programming

Intermediate

Embedded systems rely on efficient low-level programming to interact directly with hardware. In this course, you will learn how to write practical Embedded C programs used in real microcontroller-based systems. Rather than focusing only on theory, this course follows a practice-driven approach. Each lesson includes hands-on coding exercises that simulate real firmware development tasks used
