The typecast (int *()) is for "function returning pointer to integer".
To get "pointer to function returning integer" use (int (*)()).

The rule is this: operators on the right hand side bind tighter than
operators on the left hand side.  Thus "()" binds tighter than "*".
You want the "*" to bind closest, so the extra parenthesis are required.
