It takes 2 arguments. syntax : ptr=(datatype *)realloc(ptr, newsize) ->ptr is the pointer to the memory block which is previously allocated by malloc, calloc or realloc. It holds the starting address of the memory block. ->newsize is the new size for the memory block. for ex: ptr = (int *)malloc(2*sizeof(int)); // this allocates memory for 2 integers If the memory is to be increased for 3 more integers without losing the previous integers data, then realloc is used as ptr = (int *)realloc(ptr, 5*sizeof(int));. read less
