Simple function pointer example

[Jeff0803]

I made a simple example for function pointer like fowlloing.

#include <stdio.h>
void printname(char* first_name, char* last_name)
{
printf("full name is %s, %s\n", first_name, last_name);
}

int main()
{
void (*printname)(char*, char*) = &printname; // Error occur here!
(*printname) ((char*)"James", (char*)"Bond");

return 0;
}

Can anybody fix this?
