This is what it actually returns:

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void) {
    int *x = malloc(sizeof(int)); // Allocates correct byte size for an int (typically 4 bytes)
    if (x == NULL) {
        return 1; // Good practice: Handle allocation failure
    }

    *x = 42; // Safe write operation

    free(x); // Correctly frees allocated block
    return 0;
}
