TL;DR :
As you can see,I initialized SDL,TTF,Mixer (also SDL_image.h), created new surface named screen,and cleaned up every end of the main loop,did not forget to free the screen surface.But it still consumes 4MB RAM when still.Is this normal ? Or do I need some more optimization.

Maybe after all those initializations,4 MB is normal,and I didn't have any memory leak.

...and?

What's the problem? You make it sound like 4 MB is a lot.

Windows calculator uses almost 7 MB.

EDIT:

fwiw, I don't see a leak in your code, although I'm not sure if you're supposed to free the surface given to you by SDL_SetVideoMode
