passing function to another function multiple variables c

Question

void generate_sequence (int xs, int currentlen, int seqlen, int *seq);
void check_loop_iterative(void (*f)(?), int xs, int seqlen, int *loop, int *looplen);

I need to pass first function to second function.So my question is.How should I fill the parameters where the question mark is?

int,int,int,int* spring to mind. That, going off the soothsaying assumption that "I need to pass first function to second function." actually means "I need to declare a function pointer parameter f, compatible with the first function, as the first parameter to the second function." — WhozCraig

check_loop_iterative(generate_sequence(xs,curr_len,seqlen,seq),seqlen,loop,looplen); I m calliing function like this but it gives an error where is my fault? — anon88

This is how you deal with function pointers in a manner that will keep you sane:

Write a typedef similar to the function declaration you want. In this case it's just about adding typedef in front and coming up with a meaningful type name:
```
typedef void sequence_t (int xs, int currentlen, int seqlen, int *seq);
```
It doesn't matter what you name the parameters to and you don't even need to name them, though you should ideally have all functions of this type using the same parameter names. So regard the typedef as a function template.
To use a function pointer to this function type, simply do sequence_t* ptr;.

How should I fill the parameters where the question mark is?

You write the same list as the pointed function has:

void generate_sequence (int xs, int currentlen, int seqlen, int *seq);

void check_loop_iterative(void (*f)(int /*xs*/, int /*currentlen*/, int /*seqlen*/, int* /*seq*/), int xs, int seqlen, int *loop, int *looplen);

The parameter names are not necessary, so I put them in comments.

@jrswgtr I still think that the answer is correct in the first, dense form. Anyway, it is extended now.
