       str = (char *)malloc(10);

       if(str == NULL)
      {
          printf("\nInsufficient memory allocation");
          exit(0);
      }

      strcpy(str, "hello");
      printf("\nString is = %s", str);

      str = (char  *)realloc(str, 20);

      if(str == NULL)
      {
          printf("\nInsufficient memory allocation");
          exit(0);
      }
