in the last example
after free(p);
p will become the dangling pointer or not ?
according to me it will .

[aryanrasaily]

instead of initializing wild pointers with (1) address of memory and (2) using malloc which may result in dangling pointer if null not used

why not direct initialize it with null as that's gonna be the simplest step to avoid wild pointers.

[gyanendramohanpatel]

sir in the second case of avoid . is ptr is not behaving line dangling pointer . we did not need to reinitialize with NULL .
please reply.

[urvashidhangar]

Pls try to upload data structures full course asap

[dhairyapatel]

Or you could also avoid a wild pointer by initializing it with NULL.

sir we want such tutorials on python too...

Dear Neso Academy , Please reply what is the difference between datastructures and advanced datastructures?

[sagarsingh-zyws]

Thanx for great videos can u plzz guide me.. more for my successfully carrier...

[prajwalgaidhani]

in the second point (explicitly allocate the memory )
is p dangling pointer ?

[debajyotighosh]

we can also assign the pointer to null

[prajwalh]

In second example after free(p) the ptr will now does not point anywhere so is it now dangling pointer since we have not reinitilized again?

Please download explain for Dynamic memory allocation "malloc and calloc"

[friendsfandom]

Bro u told uninitialized comes under null pointer

[compilerrun]

Can't we avoid wild pointers by NULL

[garykapoor]

These are very short videos, please try to upload more videos in one day

Why not simply assigning NULL to the pointers to avoid it being WILD POINTER?

[narendrajayram]

last example is still a problem as pointer 'p' is still pointing to an unallocated memory address. Seems simply assigning NULL to the pointer 'p' will solve the problem

[AutoFirePad]

Why the F are you casting malloc in C!
