Which class are functions in C? It was my impression that the only thing missing were anonymous functions, but there are pointers to functions if I'm not mistak

  > Which class are functions in C? Economy class. :-) In general, how do you write functions that return functions without some form of anonymous function? For instance, how do you write a function that takes an int a and returns a function that takes an int parameter and returns non-zero if and only if that parameter is greater than a?

  You can use function pointers. Functions in C are not first class (they are not a type) but you can emulate higher order functions crudely using function pointers. It gets ugly pretty quick though.
