calloc v/s malloc and time efficiency

Question

I\'ve read with interest the post C difference between malloc and calloc. I\'m using malloc in my code and would like to know what difference I\'ll have using calloc instead.

Answer 1

malloc is faster than Calloc because the reason is that malloc return memory as it is from an operating system. But when you will call Calloc it gets memory from the kernel or operating system and its initializes with its zero and then its return to you. so, the initialization takes time. that's why malloc faster than Calloc
