What are the benefits of using array of function pointers ??
Other than reducing the number of function prototypes in C .
There are a variety of use cases for arrays (or other data structures) holding function pointers. Generally, that type of mechanism allows your program to dynamically call one of several different functions based on runtime criteria.
For example, you could implement something similar to interfaces from OO languages using an array of function pointers. The array would hold a pointer to each implementation of that interface. The array index would be used to select the desired implementation, based on some criteria.
