C - malloc allocating too much memory

Question

running int a strange scenario where malloc is allocating more memory than I ask for:

void function (int array [], int numberOfElements) {

int *secondArray = ma         


        

Answer 1

/** its print 0 0 0 0 because in C no array bound if you define your array 
 * size is 4 but 
 * you want to store data more than array size you can store so you print your 
 * array.
 * for(i = 0; i < numberOfElements; i++) its give data and 0 also because you 
 * store the data 
 * only 5 position but you print it max size so it give you 0 0 0 
 */
    int *secondArray = malloc(sizeof(int) * numberOfElements/2); // no matter either use it or
    int *secondArray = malloc(sizeof(int));
    // ^^^ this will take same memory
