Function pointer is a special type of pointer that is used in order to store the address of a function.
Function pointer syntax is complex and many beginners find it hard to understand.
In this video, I'll explain how to use function pointers in C++ and what is their purpose.
I'll show you how to create a function pointer, how to invoke a function using a function pointer, and also how to use and create function pointers to functions that receive parameters/arguments.
Function pointers are often used in order to optimize the code and make it reusable, and in this video, I'll explain how to use a function pointer in order to pass a function as a parameter/argument to another function.

    Due to the cumbersomeness of the types of these function pointers, they are good candidates for being typedef'ed: typedef bool (*SORT_FUNC)(int, int); void customSort(vector& numbersVector, SORT_FUNC compareFunctionPtr) { .... } SORT_FUNC funcPtr = descendingCompare; // Here in C++11 one could use that "auto" keyword to not have to write the actual type of 'funcPtr'.

    Great video, but some aprovements. First a typedef helps a lot with the strange syntax. For example: typedef bool (*Compare_T)(int,int); Compare_T myFuncPtr; Sort( vector& Numbers, Compare_T OnCompare ); Second why don't you pass your compare function directly? Sort( myNumbers, AscendingCompare );

  • @TheJacov
    @TheJacov2 жыл бұрын

    What did I learn? Two things. 1. The code builds and runs, but it generates about a dozen warnings so I had to track down the problem to get rid of them, I prefer code that doesn't generate warnings. 2. If you want to run both sorts at the same time, you must use two different pointers, that was an easy fix. Problem 1 was harder to track down but I figured it out. It seems that the .size function returns unsigned values, while the loop variables are signed and the < causes complaints. The solution I came up with was to type cast the loop variables in the comparison part of the for loops to (unsigned), this made the warnings go away and made me happy.

I think it's possible to do, but would be nice to see a code that first ask for mathematical equation and then solves it with user given numbers also. But I think this kinds of programs have been made already like MathCad for example and others, but I think it could be a good challenge to do.

    Thank you for your explanation. I am learning a bit of C++ and have a question, if that's ok. I have come across passing functions as arguments as I needed to do it. In particular, I have a class and a member function is "attached" via another member function. So I declare the function pointer in the class and pass the desired function from the main program to the class via the attacher function which receives the adequate function in its arguments. Buuut, for some reason I have been able to do it by defining the attacher function and its arguments is not a pointer, like void attacher(double funfun(int v)){member = funfun;} Does this mean that the attacher is passing funfun by value? Like, making a copy of the function?

    Hello, I hard a really hard time trying to understand direct and copy initialization. I couldn't tell the difference between: int a = 4; int a(4); When the compiler reaches int a = 4;, does the compiler first declare the variable a then the literal gets copied to a? The most confusing part is that there are braces as well. int a{4}; I couldn't tell if I should use with brackets or braces in this case. I would be highly appreciated if there will be a video dedicated to this soon. Your layman's terms explanations are spot on.

    Can you please make a video about short-cuts in Visual Studio? I see that you often use short cuts, for example to multi-line comment. Short cuts can save us a lot of time, but many people don't know how to use them. Thanks in advance!

    Hello , i have maybe a dumb question but at line 37 is it possible (and good) to directly invoke either ascendingCompare or descendingCompare inside your customSort without storing it into your pointer at line 36 ? Would it be beneficial ?

    Ok now I'm able to build a while loop with a function pointer call inside. All fired methods have to take care to change the address of the function ptr to that method who have to be called next. In the case I would like to pass some variables I will use a void* - that sounds great!

    I'm guessing that without the parentheses, we'd output to the console the address location (from RAM) of the function. 2:55 Oh! I was right! :) That's pretty cool. This was a very good and practical use of function pointers. I was experimenting with them, but hadn't imagined that this could be done with them! :)

    2 Questions: #1: Why not put an additional input in customSort like "bool ascending" and use if (ascending) {do ascending stuff...} else {do descending stuff...}? Using your customSort would need an if-statement to assign the function-pointer anyway... #2: I'd like to parse a string containing some formular (like "exp(x) * x^2 + sin(x)" or something like that). Feels like function pointers might be the way to go here (although I wouldn't know a nice and clean way to do this). Any hints on how to do that?

    Is there a special reason why - in Main() - the sort order function is passed to a functionpointer, and then the functionpointer is passed as a parameter to another functionpointer? You might as well pass the sort order method straight into the second sorting algorithm parameter. Why the extra indirection?

    In your print function would you want to use a const reference to ensure nothing is changed? I could be wrong but wanted to check. GREAT video very helpful for function pointers and quite efficient.

    It is a good idea. If the job of the function is just to write out elements it shouldn't change them, and to make sure that they'll not be changed we can use const 🤗🤗
