Is it possible to call a C function, given its name as a string? -


I have seen this question in one of C's puzzles !! Is this possible at all?

How can I call a function, its name is given as string? Is it possible to use string, read with scanf, is used directly to call the function?

I already thought that (strcmp (str, "string") calls the function.

But what is any other approach?

Since there is no function, nor its parameters, I would imagine it something like this: / P>

 typedef zero (* foo) (); Struct puzzleFoo {char * function_name; Foo * fn; }; 

Create a lookup table based on the structure, using the string parameter

 struct puzzleFoo * lookup (const char * function_name); 

Then repeat through an array / list in search of function_nam e for puzzleFoo and the function pointer to fn .
