  • Q2. Y c malloc function returns and y stack operates in reverse
  • Ans. 

    The y c malloc function returns memory from the heap while y stack operates in reverse.

    • The y stack operates in reverse, meaning the last item pushed onto the stack is the first item popped off.

    • This can cause issues if the programmer is not careful with memory allocation and stack usage.
