The World Thalassaemia Day (WTD) is observed every year on May 8 to spread awareness about this deadly disease and the importance of blood donation and how it helps the millions of people suffering from Thalassemia worldwide. Thalassemia is genetic blood disorders characterised by reduction in the synthesis or absence of haemoglobin in the body. According to a WHO report, more than 90% patients with thalassaemia in western countries lead a normal life, whereas in India, roughly half of all patients die before reaching adulthood. Approx 3.9% of India’s population is a carrier for thalassemia. The 2017 theme ‘Together for Humanity’ highlights the need for unity and the efforts that are required to fight this fatal disease.

As against malloc(), calloc() needs two arguments, the number of elements  to be allocated and the size of each element. For example,

 p = (int *) calloc (10, sizeof (int));

would allocate space for a 10- integer array. Additionally, calloc() would also set each of this element with a value 0.

Thus the above call to calloc() is equivalent to:

p = (int *) malloc (10 * sizeof (int));

memset (p, 0, 10 * sizeof( int ));

From the given data,

1 + 9 + 8 = 1

ONE + NINE + EIGHT

Consider the first letters and join them viz O N E = 1

So, now consider 2 + 8 + 9 in similar way

TWO+EIGHT+NINE

First letters are T E N = 10

2 + 8 + 9 = 1⃣0⃣
