I READ THE COMMENTS OF saurabh rai BUT THEY WERE RETURNING INTEGER POINTER FOR D PART QUESTION ASK FUNCTION POINTER ...........ARE THEY SAME??

---

int (*f) (int *) --  it returns int. value.

int * fu(int *) --  it returns returns address of an integer.

int function(int* x)
{
    // ...
    return SOME_VALUE;
}

then we can use:: int (*f) (int *) = &function;

Just check this :: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32156290/what-does-int-fint-represent

read the VS comment, below saurabh rai comment

---

1.  declaration for D ("A function that takes an integer pointer as argument and returns a function pointer") 
int ( * f(int *) ) ()

here f returns a pointer pointing to a function which returns int data and takes no input as arguments

SO IN THIS out most int is due to becz implict return type is n???

---

they didn't clearly mention the return type of function pointer, therefore we can assume anything, for easy convinient they take int.

---

ohk thank u so much  just for easy convenient not default case??

---

yes, it is not default
