Memory leak in software is due to : 1 point a. Heavy recursion used in logic b. Using structures of large size. c. Improper use of the CPU registers. d. Improper release of allocated memory. code example

Example: memory overflow

In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations in a way that memory which is no longer needed is not released. A memory leak may also happen when an object is stored in memory but cannot be accessed by the running code.
