Caveat in C: free-ing list elements

The most important difference between C and Java
- Very important difference between Java and C:
- Consequence:

De-allocate the memory reserved for linked list element

Syntax:

#include <stdlib.h> // You must include this header file // to obtain the function declaration for malloc( ) and free( ) struct List *p; p = malloc( sizeof( struct List ) ); // Allocate (= reserve) memroy for List object free( p ); // De-allocate (= unreserve) the memory used

I will use free( ) in an example soon
