C Quiz – 108 | Question 4

Both of the following declarations for function pointers are equivalent. Second one (i.e. with typedef) looks cleaner.

/* First Declaration */
int (*funPtr1)(int), (*funPtr2)(int);

/* Second Declaration*/
typedef int (*funPtr)(int);
funPtr funPtr1, funPtr2;

(A) TRUE
(B) FALSE


Answer: (A)

Explanation: Usually data type of function pointers tends to be cryptic and that’s why it’s used in conjunction with typedef. Think of a function pointer which is pointing to a function that accepts a function pointer and that returns a function pointer. This can be used simplified using typedef otherwise it’s going to very difficult to read/understand!
