Function Pointers and Lambdas

Lambdas

  • Lambdas are short inline functions that are going to be used only once and thus do not need to be written as independent functions.

General Structure

[captures]<tparams>(params) specs {body}
  • [captures] → Interface to decide what variables are to be shared to the lambda’s body from the code scope.
  • tparams
  • params → Parameters to pass in the function. Similar to capture but you can pass constant values without definition here.
  • {body} → The body to write the the function implementation.

Function Pointers

  • Function Pointers are a way to assign function to variables. It can be used to pass function as parameters to other functions.
