Under this context, I don't understand the functionality of asterisk in the (*fptr) part, somehow I doubt whether it is dereference operator or what. Can I get a little help with that please?

TIA,

To be honest, the C++11 way left me with yet another question, still from that lonely asterisk within the parentheses, the one that looks like `(*)` and I go "what is being declared there now that there's only that one asterisk?" 😁

Lemme try to break it down, always correct me if I'm wrong ...

typedef => introduce type alias
int => function return type
(*fp) => the alias
(int, int) => function parameters list

Tell me how close I get ... 😁

Thank you very much, I think I prefer one who knows a bit more and share, rather than one who knows a lot but keeping it themselves hehehe 👍 ✌
