#include <stdio.
h>
// Function prototypes
int add(int a, int b);
int subtract(int a, int b);
int multiply(int a, int b);
int divide(int a, int b);
int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
int subtract(int a, int b) {
return a - b;
}
int multiply(int a, int b) {
return a * b;
}
int divide(int a, int b) {
if (b != 0)
return a / b;
else {
printf("Error: Division by zero\n");
return 0;
}
}
Step 2: Use Function Pointers
Next, define a function that takes a function pointer as an argument along with two integers.
This function will call the pointed-to function with the provided integers.
c
Copy code
// Function pointer type definition
typedef int (*operation_t)(int, int);
void perform_operation(operation_t operation, int x, int y) {
int result = operation(x, y);
printf("Result: %d\n", result);
}
Step 3: Main Function
Finally, use the function pointers in the main function to call the different arithmetic
operations.
c
Copy code
int main() {
int a = 10, b = 5;
// Perform addition
perform_operation(add, a, b);
// Perform subtraction
perform_operation(subtract, a, b);
// Perform multiplication
perform_operation(multiply, a, b);
// Perform division
perform_operation(divide, a, b);
return 0;
}
Full Example Code
Here is the complete code:
c
Copy code
#include <stdio.h>
// Function prototypes
int add(int a, int b);
int subtract(int a, int b);
int multiply(int a, int b);
int divide(int a, int b);
// Function definitions
int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
int subtract(int a, int b) {
return a - b;
}
int multiply(int a, int b) {
return a * b;
}
int divide(int a, int b) {
if (b != 0)
return a / b;
else {
printf("Error: Division by zero\n");
return 0;
}
}
// Function pointer type definition
typedef int (*operation_t)(int, int);
void perform_operation(operation_t operation, int x, int y) {
int result = operation(x, y);
printf("Result: %d\n", result);
}
int main() {
int a = 10, b = 5;
// Perform addition
perform_operation(add, a, b);
// Perform subtraction
perform_operation(subtract, a, b);
// Perform multiplication
perform_operation(multiply, a, b);
// Perform division
perform_operation(divide, a, b);
return 0;
}
