How can I call a function using a function pointer?

Question

Suppose I have these three functions:

bool A();
bool B();
bool C();

How do I call one of these functions conditionally using a function poi

Answer 1

Initially define a function pointer array which takes a void and returns a void.

Assuming that your function is taking a void and returning a void.

typedef void (*func_ptr)(void);

Now you can use this to create function pointer variables of such functions.

Like below:

func_ptr array_of_fun_ptr[3];

Now store the address of your functions in the three variables.

array_of_fun_ptr[0]= &A;
array_of_fun_ptr[1]= &B;
array_of_fun_ptr[2]= &C;

Now you can call these functions using function pointers as below:

some_a=(*(array_of_fun_ptr[0]))();
some_b=(*(array_of_fun_ptr[1]))();
some_c=(*(array_of_fun_ptr[2]))();
