Lab04 - Strings and (de)allocation

use valgrind for memory leak detection

can detect forgotten allocated memory and the exact location of out-of-bound access

can report using uninitialized variables/memory

for better output, compile your program with -g flag

valgrind ./your-program

learn to understand the function declaration (the name, return type, and parameters)

the definition (code to be executed) might not always be available

Remember you can use #include <string.h> for helper functions

Let's declare an array of characters, and then ask the user for their first name

Print the name, its length, and say if it's the same as your own name

You can use the function strcmp to compare the strings, will return zero if the same

Modify your program to use dynamic memory for the name

Ask the user for other names

Use realloc to make the original name string bigger

Use memcpy to append the additional name to the original name/string
