How to make a function return a pointer to a function? (C++)

Question

I'm trying to make a function that takes a character, then returns a pointer to a function depending on what the character was. I just am not sure how to make a function return a pointer to a function.

Answer 1

int f(char) {
    return 0;
}

int (*return_f())(char) {
    return f;
}

No, seriously, use a typedef :)
