Answer #1

Here is the solution . Please give a thumbs up!!

Memory leaks occur due to following reasons

1) char *aString = "Memory Leaks" , here the constant "Memory leaks" is declared in the heap memory and address is give to aString pointer and this memory is never released this is one of the potential memory leaks

2) The 2 dimention pointer strList is allocated memory on the heap but memory given to it is not realeased in the program

3) aString 1 dimension char pointer memory is never released this is one of the potential memory leaks

    "Simon Says" is a memory game where "Simon" outputs a sequence of 10 characters (R, G, B, Y) and the user must repeat the sequence. Create a for loop that compares the two strings starting from index 0. For each match, add one point to userScore. Upon a mismatch, exit the loop using a break statement. Assume simonPattern and userPattern are always the same length. Ex: The following patterns yield a userScore of 4: simonPattern: RRGBRYYBGY userPattern: RRGBBRYBGY #include <stdio.h>...
