What is the difference between Function Pointer vs Function Call?

Question

Hello Friends,
How can I use an array of function pointers?
If we will see the above link, it tells us how function pointer works.
Now the question is why should I choose function pointer?
Why can't I use function call directly?
What are the benifits will I get with function pointer?
e.g

enum{a, b, c};
void A();
void B();
void C();
void (*fun[3])() = {A, B, C};

Now when I need to call a function I am doing like,
fun[a](); // This calls function A
// And so on...

Same can be done in function calls also

like when I need to call function A, B or C. directly I can right like

A();
B();
or 
C();

Then why function pointer?

You use function pointers when you need to implement a Asynchronous mechanism.
You need a function be called asynchronously when something happens.
How will you know which function to call?
The address of every function is Unique,So you need to use and store the function address.
Where do you store this function address?
A function pointer

In my experience, function pointers are mainly used to pass a function as a parameter to another function.

Looking at your code, they could also be used like with arrays, so you can just loop through the entire array (which could consist of hundreds of function pointers) and it will just execute them all.
