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.

Given only putchar (no sprintf, itoa, etc.) write a routine putlong that prints out an unsigned long in decimal. [ I gave the obvious solution of taking % 10 and / 10, which gives us the decimal value in reverse order. This requires an array since we need to print it out in the correct order. The interviewer wasn't too pleased and asked me to give a solution which didn't need the array ].
