Question

Advantages and disadvantages of stack and heap storage allocation

Answer 1

Heap

A heap is an area of pre reserved computer storages in which a program can use to store data variables. that won’t be known until the program is running .and we can say that The size of heap cannot be determined at compile time. Referenced only through pointers or references.

Advantage of heap:

heap provides for dynamic storage management.

Disadvantage:

It is an inefficient and unreliable

 Stack

In programming, a stack is a data area and buffer that are used for storing requests that need to be handled. Names local to a procedure are allocated space on a stack.

Advantages:

stack allows the recursion.
stack have conserves storage.

Disadvantages:

in stack Overhead of allocation and also deallocation. Subprograms cannot be history sensitive
stack have an Inefficient references (indirect addressing)
