Pointer that points to function (C)

1.

//指向函数的指针
//定义的形式：函数的返回值类型（*指针变量名） (形式参数1,形式参数2,...);

#include<stdio.h>

int sum(int a, int b)
{
  return a + b;
}

int main()
{
   //定义一个指针变量p,指向sum函数
   int (*p) (int a, int b) = sum;
   //或者 int (*p)(int, int) = sum;
   // 或者 int (*p)() = sum;
   
  printf("p is %d, and *p is %d, sum is %d\n",p,*p,sum); // The values of p, *p and sum all indicate the address of the variable sum.

   //利用指针变量p调用函数
   int result = (*p)(1, 3);
   //或者int result = p(1, 3);
   int result2 = sum(1, 3);

   printf("result is %d\n", result);
   printf("result2 is %d\n", result2);
   return 0;
}

Output: p is 4195629, and *p is 4195629, sum is 4195629
              result is 4
              result2 is 4

2.

// Pointer which point to function

#include<stdio.h>

//Minus Operation
int minus(int a, int b)
{
  return a - b;
} 


//Add Operation
int sum(int a, int b)
{
  return a + b;
}


// One function used to choose add operation or minus operation
void counting( int (*p)(int a, int b), int a, int b) // Here,int (*p)(int a, int b) could also be int (*p)(int , int ) or int (*p)(,)
{
  int result = p(a, b);
  printf("The result is %d\n", result);
}

int main()
{
  //Choose add operation
  counting(sum, 6, 4);
  
  //Choose minus operation
  counting(minus, 6, 4);

  return 0;
}

Output: The result is 10.

              The result is 2.
