The problem is that using the name of a function without parenthesis
(when the function has no parameters) is not an error in C.
When the name of a function apears by itself, the compiler understands
that you are requesting the function's address.

Example:

x =3D rnd();  // x is loaded with the return value of the function

x =3D rnd; // x is loaded with the address of the rnd function.

Usually the compiler would issue a warning of incompatible type
assignment because rnd returns an integer and probably you would declare
x as 'int', so when assigning a pointer to it thw compiler would issue a
warnng.
