Summary  
This chapter covers how to allocate, reallocate, and free heap memory at runtime using malloc (and related functions), enabling flexible management of dynamically sized data structures.

General domain of usage  
Data structure implementation

Master the fundamentals and advanced techniques of string handling in C, from character arrays and memory management to safe string manipulation and practical utilities.

Explore the foundational concepts of strings in C, including their representation, the importance of the null terminator, and the distinction between character arrays and string literals.

Learn how to declare, initialize, and safely store strings in C, including common pitfalls and input techniques.

Master the use of standard library functions for string manipulation and understand the risks of unsafe operations.

Delve into dynamic memory allocation for strings, including copying, resizing, and freeing memory safely.

Apply your knowledge to real-world string processing tasks using standard library functions.

Consolidate your skills by building a complete text processing program.
