dereference a function pointer is the same as using the function pointer directly as if it's an alias for the pointed function. Similarly, apply $\backslash$& address$-$of operator to a function's identifier to fetch the address of the function is the same as using the function's identifier directly.

For example:

int $(*$fptr$)($int$,$ int$)=$ foo; $//$ is the same as int $(*$fptr$)($int$,$ int$)=\backslash$&foo;

int ham $\backslash (=\backslash$left$(\{\}^\{*\}$ f p t r$\backslash$right$)(3,5)$ ; $//\backslash )$ is the same as int ham $\backslash (=\backslash )$ fptr$(3,5)$;TrueFalse
