void qsort(int *array, int length, int width, int (*compare)());
is a C library example. I think we'd describe qsort as a HOF since
one of its arguments (the comparison routine) is a function. We
wouldn't say that C has first class functions like Python or Scheme
does, since you can't create new functions at runtime.
