Ok. I never did C, so I don’t know when you would use a function pointer.
I can relate to Pascal pointers and dynamic arrays, though…

I second that. 'plain please, Lucy!

I’m very new at this, but I look at using yield wherever in C I would
have used a function pointer.
As an example, c’s qsort(). You pass in the comparitor method there
(Java uses an interface for this). In ruby, your sort could take a
block instead.
(“sort” may not be a great example, as it’s built in a number of
useful places…)
