Well, you provided a wrong answer, in any case.
Read a text like:
C:Step-by-Step, Waite & Prata, The White Group, Howard W Sams Publ.
ISBM 0-672-22651-0
Page 500, 14.2
Quote "
pfun = atof;
you can use this call to invoke the atof() function:
(*pfun)(string);
Some C compilers have allowed the following usage when pfun is a
pointer.
pfun(string) /* rogue usage */
Note:Neither ANSI C nor K&R C supports this form.
" End quote.
WRONG. See ANSI C standard section 6.3.2.2 Function Calls: `The
expression that denotes the called function shall have type pointer to
function...', or Example 2 following section 6.7.1, which explicitly
shows that (*funcp)() is equivalent to funcp(), when funcp is declared
as int (*funcp)(void).
This is a "Beginners" Text. It tells what 'C' is, what the rules are
and how it is supposed to used.
Well, they could at least make an effort to be correct.
