C/C++ Array of Functions

Oh, never thought of it? well, this is actually not array of functions, this is array of function pointer. You know, in C/C++, pointers are very powerful tools for accessing and allocating memory, and anything that has a logical entity in any type of memory, a pointer can access it pretty easily and this feature made all other languages jealous that they say allowing pointers are threat-full, lolzzz....

Well, here is a simple code presented that shows the use of such an array. Actually, we all know, like a character array s[100], s is the pointer to it, similarly, a function defined as f(int a), f is the pointer to it. Well, enough talk, lets examine the code...

#include <stdio.h>

inline int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

inline int sub(int a, int b) {
    return a - b;
}

inline int mul(int a, int b) {
    return a * b;
}

inline int div(int a, int b) {
    return a / b;
}

inline int mod(int a, int b) {
    return a % b;
}

int main() {
    int (*func_array[])(int, int) = {&add, &sub, &mul, &div, &mod};
    for(int i=0; i<5; i++) printf("%d\n", func_array[i](10, 5));
    return 0;
}

Easy as usual...
