free(myperson);

Note that the free does not delete the `myperson` variable itself, it simply releases the data that it points to. The `myperson` variable will still point to somewhere in the memory - but after calling `myperson` we are not allowed to access that area anymore. We must not use that pointer again until we allocate new data using it.
