    stdlib.h in C

    It is said that we can use cstdlib and stdlib.h header file as well.

    My question is how can we use C language header file to fetch prototype of functions here in CPP too? Are C and CPP header files available for both, in C and CPP too?

    For C++, use <cstdlib> & Co. (if necessary). In principle, you cannot rely on C Standard Library headers like <stdio.h> being bundled with your C++ compiler and thus should avoid using them in your code.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
