Original to: all

I am trying to work out what the following decalration means:- 
 
    int (*function)() = NULL; 
 
 

and it is later used:- 
 
    (*function)(); 
 
 

I would appreciate it if anyone could explain this code to me. 
I am fairly new to C and I think this code may help me 
with a menu program I am currently writing. 
 
 

Thanks. 
 

John  :-)
