New () is a preprocessor whereas malloc() is a function or method. There is no need for the user to allocate the memory while using “new” but in malloc() you have to use the function sizeof() to allocate the memory. “new” initializes the new memory to 0 while malloc() stores a random value in the newly allotted memory location.
