I’ve been using C on some projects for a master’s degree but have never built production software with it. (.NET & Javascript are my bread and butter.) Obviously, the need to free() memory that you malloc() is critical in C. This is fine, well and good if you can do both in one routine. But as programs grow, and structs deepen, keeping track of what’s been malloc‘d where and what’s appropriate to free gets harder and harder.

The code works as it is supposed to, though it never frees the memory allocated by malloc().

Today, I appeared for an interview and the interviewer asked me this,

I’m working on a Snake game project for my school where I need to create a grid using triple pointers (a matrix for the grid with each cell containing an 8-character string) along with the snake representation.
