// Lecture 3 exercise 4:
//
// Write a function that:
// - accepts a function pointer and an integer as an argument
// - invokes the pointed-to function, with the integer as its argument
#include // needed for the definition of NULL, printf
#include // needed for the definition of assert()
// The C syntax for function pointers is pretty confusing.
// Read the manual (CARM); I've also found this web page
// to be pretty helpful:
//
// http://www.newty.de/fpt/index.html
//
void InvokeFunction(void (*f)(int), int arg) {
assert(f != NULL);
f(arg);
}
// Here's some code to test our function
void FirstFunction(int a) {
printf("In FirstFunction with argument '%d'\n", a);
}
void SecondFunction(int b) {
printf("In SecondFunction with argument '%d'\n", b);
}
void ThirdFunction(int c) {
printf("In ThirdFunction with argument '%d'\n", c);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
void (*g)(int);
InvokeFunction(&FirstFunction, 5);
InvokeFunction(&SecondFunction, 6);
g = &ThirdFunction;
InvokeFunction(g, 7);
return 0;
