What is the difference between:
int *array;
array = (int*) calloc(5, sizeof(int));
and
int *array;
array = calloc(5, sizeof(int));
I don't get it. Both samples work. At the university the professor explained why you need the (int*) before the calloc, but I didn't get it.
In the course was a code sample like this:
struct data{
int number;
char *name;
};
typedef struct data student;
int main(){
student **list;
list = (student*) calloc(10, sizeof(student*));
//Create structures dynamic in list
....
return 0;
}
I hope someone can explain it to me. Thank you.
