Answer / dwight schrute
suppose u have 2 files:
file1 has following functions:
A1
B1
C1
file12 has following functions:
A2
B2
C2
scenario:
A1 needs to use A2 in turn A2 needs to use B1.
A1 invokes A2;
A2 invokes B1;
for B1 to be available in file2 either shld be extern or in
header file which in turn exposes it to entire file2.
In order to minimize this exposure "pass B1 as a functional
pointer to A2".

Answer / sanjeeva rao
It is useful when you want to send function as argument to
another function. And to implement the call back functions in multi-threading programming.

Answer / tahir ali
As you probably learned in your first programming courses,
pointers to variables allows you to modify variable contents
from a non-local environment. This gives the flexibility of
writing generic functions which do not alter "known" global
variables, but references to "unknown" variables. Such
functions can be reused. Function pointers gives you the
same flexibility, but at a higher level. Instead of calling
a "known" function, one can call any arbitrary "unknown"
function. This is the main advantage of function pointers:
greater flexibility and better code reuse.

Answer / sudeep reddy
function pointers can be used to replace switch/if
statements,to realize late binding(virtual function tables)
or to implement callback function primitives.

How do I access command-line arguments?
find the size of structure without using the size of function
design and implement a program that reads floating-points numbers in a sentinel-controlled loop until the user terminates the program by entering zero.your program should determinate and print the smallest,largest and average of the supplied numbers.
Explain can static variables be declared in a header file?
