Function Pointers in C and C++ Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

When programming C and C++ you often talk about functions and methods respectively as a way to compartmentalize the work that your program needs to do. Have you found yourself having these functions and methods well defined and similarly structured in terms of return types and argument types, yet doing different things, and you can define, in a switch statement, for instance, which one you’d want to do at any one particular part of your program execution. This is where Function Pointers, optionally arranged into arrays, can be a good thing to learn about, as we do in this primer tutorial written in XCode C and C++.<\/p>\n
