There is no pointer variable per se, but there is dynamic parsing, so if
you're trying to store the functions on the fly, you can keep a list of
them (or however you want to manage them), as in:
myFuncs =["Scream()", "Yell(20)", "Whimper()", "Cry(99, 20, 10)"]
thisFunc =myFuncs[x]
do(thisFunc)
If you need a return value, use the value function, as in:
result =value(thisFunc)
If the funcs belong to objects, then you'll have to preserve the object
value; I usually simulate making a handle to an object so I can pass around
the handle and not the object itself (it survives strings and all).
