c function as paramter

Explanation of Using a C Function as a Parameter in C++

Consider the following steps when using a C function as a parameter in C++:

  1. Define the Function Pointer Type: Define a type for the function pointer by specifying the return type and parameter types of the function that will be used as a parameter.

  2. Declare the Function Parameter: Declare a function parameter of the type defined in the previous step. This parameter will be used to pass the function as an argument.

  3. Pass the Function as an Argument: When calling the function that takes a function pointer as a parameter, pass the address of the function that should be used as an argument.

  4. Invoke the Function Through the Function Pointer: Inside the function that received the function pointer as a parameter, you can invoke the function using the function pointer syntax.

By following these steps, you can use a C function as a parameter in C++ and achieve the desired behavior.
