Complete Modern C++ - Function Pointers

The video tutorial explains function pointers in C programming, detailing their declaration, usage, and advantages. It covers how function pointers can be used to invoke functions indirectly, matching the function's signature. The tutorial also demonstrates using function pointers with C library functions like 'at exit' to execute code before program termination. The video concludes with a brief mention of namespaces, which will be covered in the next video.

What is a function pointer primarily used for?

• To hold the address of a function

• To modify the arguments of a function

• To store the name of a function

• To change the return type of a function

When declaring a function pointer, what must it match?

• The function's return type

• The function's name

• The function's memory address

• The function's signature

How can you initialize a function pointer?

• By assigning it a function's arguments

• By assigning it a function's address

• By assigning it a function's name

• By assigning it a function's return type

What is one advantage of using function pointers?

• They allow functions to be invoked without knowing their names

• They reduce the memory usage of a program

• They increase the speed of function execution

• They simplify the syntax of function calls

What does the 'at exit' function do in C?

• It registers a function to be called during program execution

• It registers a function to be called when an error occurs

• It registers a function to be called at the start of the program

• It registers a function to be called when the program terminates
