首先得说明一点，C 语言不是函数式编程语言，要想进行完全的函数式编程，还得先写个虚拟机，然后再写个解释器才行（相当于 CPython ）。
下面我们提供一个例子，说明即便不写虚拟机， C 语言函数也是可以“适度地模仿” Python函数。
我们有如下的 Python 程序：
1 def line_conf(a, b):2 def line(x):3 return a*x + b4 return line5 6 line1 = line_conf(1, 1)7 line2 = line_conf(4, 5)8 print(line1(5), line2(5))
Python Code
我们在C程序中适度地模拟其中的line_conf函数：

C Code
结果在MacOSX和Ubuntu上（i386）都能通过简单的测试。但是可以看到，仅仅是简单的模拟，我们也得用到大量（按比例）的汇编，可读性很差，而且模拟程度非常有限，代码长度也更长。
注意：这只是个玩具，别这么写代码，除非想搞破坏（充斥着各种漏洞，极易被侵入）。
人之所以有一张嘴，而有两只耳朵，原因是听的要比说的多一倍。
