A pointer to a function can be called using the () operator.
There is no such thing as a function to a pointer; it is not a
meaningful phrase.

What's a "function to pointer"? Have you an example to show?

"function pointer" is the term used for a pointer to a function, i.e. a
variable which holds the address of a function and can be used to call it
indirectly.

"function to pointer" isn't a term I've heard. Maybe it refers to the act of
setting a function pointer to a value, by writing fptr = foo; fptr is the
pointer, foo the name of the function.

Maybe you want to ask the different between "int * func()" and "int
(*func)()".

the first means function return a pointer;the second means pointer to
function.
