to a function in C and C++. By association with sub-atomic particles such
as the neutrino, it accurately conveys an impression of smallness (one
pointer is four bytes on most systems) and speed (hackers can and do use
arrays of functinos to replace a switch() statement).</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="fum.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../F.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="funky.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">fum<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>funky</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
