function pointers in python

Question

I would like to do something like the following:

def add(a, b):
    #some code

def subtract(a, b):
    #some code

operations = [add, subtract]
operations[0]( 5,3)
operations[1](5,3)

In python, is it possible to assign something like a function pointer?

Answer 1

Did you try it? What you wrote works exactly as written. Functions are first-class objects in Python.
