void Hello();

void Hello()

    printf("Hello World!
");         
}

int main()
{
    void (*Hello_ptr)() = Hello; 
    //giving the address of "Hello" funciton to the pointer
    
    (*Hello_ptr)();  //ugly way 
    Hello_ptr();     //elegent way to use function pointer
          
}           

 

 Example2.c

int my_func(int a,int b);
int your_func(int , int);

int main()
{
　　int (*funcPtr)(int,int); //declare a function pointer --> not pointing to anything now
　　funcPtr = my_func; //initializing function pointer

　　//use the function pointer
　　int x = (*funcPtr)(5,7);
　　//or
　　int y = funcPtr(5,7)；
