### Answer by Arti Mishra

**“Heap in MVC”** Heap is used for **dynamic memory allocation** and it **allocates the memory at runtime**. In a heap, **memory is allocated randomly** and there is **no limitation of size**. In heap, **you can allocate or de-allocate the** **block many times as per user requirement.** And **accessing of the object is so difficult** in comparison of the stack. It also takes much more time for memory allocation. \
