Thread: free memory from malloc

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
	char *name;
	name = (char *) malloc(80*sizeof(char));
	if ( name != NULL ) {
		printf("\nEnter your name: ");
		gets(name);
		printf("\nHi %s\n", name);
		free(name);
		if ( name == NULL ) {
			printf("\nGood!");
		}
		else 
			printf("\nNOT Good!");
		        printf("\nHi %s\n", name);
	}
	return 0;
}

My output:

Code:

Enter your name: c_lady

Hi c_lady

NOT Good!
Hi c_lady

How come after calling the free function I am still able to print the name???

I really don't understand this... isn't this strange?
