A simple C program to show function pointers as parameter

💻 Program Code

// A simple C program to show function pointers as parameter
#include <stdio.h>
 
// Two simple functions
void fun1() { printf("Fun1\n"); }
void fun2() { printf("Fun2\n"); }
 
// A function that receives a simple function
// as parameter and calls the function
void wrapper(void (*fun)())
{
    fun();
}
 
int main()
{
    wrapper(fun1);
    wrapper(fun2);
    return 0;
}
                        

🖥 Program Output

Fun1
Fun2
                            

📘 Explanation

Like normal data pointers, a function pointer can be passed as an argument and can also be returned from a function.For example, consider this C program where wrapper() receives a void fun() as parameter and calls the passed function.

Master Programming Through Practical Examples

Improve your coding logic, problem-solving skills and programming confidence by practicing real-world examples with explanations.

🎯 How to learn from this example

First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.

🔥 Practice suggestion

Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
