Sluggish

[thud_stonehead]

I love days like today. Dark grey clouds, constant rain, a little breeze maybe. But man, I'm really feeling sluggish today. Not sure if I've just not gotten enough sleep the last couple of days, but a nap sounds really enticing now

So what's a function pointer?

[thud_stonehead]

Its a programming technique that's used to pass the memory location of a function to another function as an argument. Hrm, that's not very helpful, I imagine.

Quicksort is a function that takes two arguments: a linked list, LList, and a function which can compare two elements in the linked list, cmp.

Function pointers allow me to write the generic Qsort function, by passing a different cmp function based on what's in the list.

I take it that this is something used in databases, both for acessing and managing?

I don't know what a function pointer is.

Nor me.
