Re: equivalent to C pointer

While Python does not have pointers, Python functions are objects, and they
may be passed like any other object:

def F1(x):
    return x * x

def Trapeze(Fonc, left, right, step):
    ...code...
    Y1 = Fonc(X1)
    ...code...

def main():
   ...code...
   y = Trapeze(F1, -2.5, 3.2, 0.1)
   ...code...
