What is "the dynamic area of memory"?! – Kerrek SB Apr 10 '17 at 13:02

have you even tried anything? Technically, it's not guaranteed that a byte is the smallest usable chunk of memory, but in practice `malloc(1024)` will allocate memory to store 1024 bytes – Elias Van Ootegem Apr 10 '17 at 13:02

String literals have static storage duration. Commonly they are stored in read-only memory. They usually go into sections called .rodata (linux) or .rdata (windows). Providing the string literal as a function parameter behaves the same as defining it as const char *s = "Hello world" beforehand.
