Brief description of code changes (suitable for use as a commit message):
This pull request implements error handling for the memory allocation functions involving the "malloc" and "calloc" functions. Particularly focused on return values for error cases, this pull request clarifies when certain memory allocations do not work, which allows developers to clearly identify mistakes and where the issue is. Error messages are also used for code readability and clarity. This aims to make testing and bug fixing easier and more efficient.
