Concept
Heap Allocation
Heap allocation
is a
memory management technique
where memory is dynamically allocated from a pool known as the heap, allowing for flexible and
efficient use of memory
during a
program's runtime
. It contrasts with
stack allocation
, providing more control over the lifetime and
size of data structures
but requiring
explicit management
to prevent
memory leaks
and fragmentation.
