calloc
void *calloc (size_t numberOfElements, size_t elementSize);
Purpose
Allocates memory space for an array of elements in which an element's size is specified by elementSize and total number of elements is specified by number_ofElements. Thus, the amount of memory allocated is equal to (elementSize*number_ofElements).The allocated memory space is initialized to all zero bits.
Parameters
