►Lesson Description: In this lesson I show you how to use the void* pointer in C. void* is a very powerful feature that allows us to do generic programming. With void* we have to use extra caution however, to make sure we dereference to the proper type that we point to however. In this lesson I also show you how to point to function pointers as well, and then call the function. This is very useful in more 'event-driven' applications, or otherwise if you'd want to write a function that can take any type of function as a parameter for example. Finally, I'll show you that you have been using void* all along in malloc.
