+loader ⇒ loads program into memory, loaded at $4000

+data has an address in memory, so does the application. Therefore functions must also have an address in memory which we can access
+
+# pointers to routines
+
+```
+int (*method)(int param)
+```
+
+to assign a pointer to a routine
+
+```
+method = square;
+```
+
+to call the routine
+```
+result = method(6);
+```

+## basic example

+
+## pointer as member of a struct;
+pointers to routines can beused anyqhere variables can
+
+- member of struct

+
+- parameter to other routine

+
+# modules
+we can break programs into functional modules
+- each modules excapsulates one behaviour
+- give us a way of data hiding
+
+add pointer to structs as parameters to methods in modules
+- call this an abstract data type ADT
+- we communicatre with an ADT via its public interface
+	- so that the implementation details are hidden
