Can I increase the size of statically allocated array?

  • A.Yes
  • B.No

Answer: B

Correct answer: No

A statically allocated array has its size fixed when the program is compiled, and there is no mechanism to change it at run time.

Obtaining a larger one means allocating fresh storage dynamically and copying the contents across - which is exactly what realloc does for heap blocks. This inflexibility is the principal reason dynamic allocation exists, and it is why every growable structure in C is built on the heap.
