What is the purpose of realloc( )?

The function realloc(ptr,n) uses two arguments.the first argument ptr is a pointer to a block of memory for which the size is to be altered.The second argument n specifies thenew size.

The size may be increased or decreased.
If n is greater than the old size and if sufficient space is not available subsequent to the old region, the function realloc( )may create a new region and all the old data are moved to the new region.
