It explains what the program is doing in separate parts, which helps to understand how the program is working. This reference shows how to use malloc, sizeof, and free; it also has a section for calloc and realloc. It shows an example with a linked list and a full program using queue.c. This is a good reference because it gives several different examples of different ways on how to use dynamic memory. At the end of the web page, exercises are given to help a programmer with writing programs where they need to allocate dynamic memory.
bulletI really liked this website that is why I recommend it to you because it explains this topic step by step by following real programs.

bulletDynamic Memory Allocation -- Part II, by Benjamin Chelf. Author Chelf, discusses the connection between the operating system and the memory allocator. This is a very adequate website; it explains dynamic memory allocation at the level of the operating system. Moreover, more depth then Part I of Dynamic Memory Allocation. In this part, Part II the author focuses between the operating system and the memory allocator. In sum, he does a great job explaining it in layman's term.

bulletThis is a good reference in using dynamic memory allocation in C++. It is a language tutorial, which shows many examples on how to input data. In addition it shows the operators new and delete. In order to request dynamic memory, we use the operator new. We use the delete operator once it is no longer needed it and should be freed so that the memory becomes available again for other requests of dynamic memory.

bulletSo you have just finished your program and you would like to see it at work. Usually you press a combination of keys to compile and run it. But what actually happens when you press those keys ? The compilation process translates your code from C++ to machine language, which is the only language computers "understand". Then your application is given a certain amount of memory to use, which is divided into three segments as follows :
