pass a function as a parameter and then execute it in a jquery function

Question

I was wondering which is the way to make this simple (and maybe stupid) thing with jQuery.

I have a function like this:

function setSomething() { 
    make some stuff; 
}

and then another function like this:

generalFunction(par1, par2, par3) { 
    do other stuff; 
    execute function called in par3;    
}

Well, if I write something like this it doesn't work:

c=setSomething(); 
generalFunction(a, b, c);

So what's the way to call a function as a parameter of another function and then execute it inside?

I hope I was clear enough.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your attention.

Answer 1

leave out the parentheses , you can then call the parameter as a function inside your "generalFunction" function.

setSomething(){
   // do other stuff  
}

generalFunction(par1, par2, par3) { 
    // do stuff...

    // you can call the argument as if it where a function ( because it is !)
    par3();
}

generalFunction(a, b, setSomething);
