@ -770,6 +770,16 @@ confusing, but in essence, if a function is ``payable``, this means that it
also accepts a payment of zero Ether, so it also is ``non-payable``.
On the other hand, a ``non-payable`` function will reject Ether sent to it,
so ``non-payable`` functions cannot be converted to ``payable`` functions.
To clarify, rejecting ether is more restrictive than not rejecting ether.
This means you can override a payable function with a non-payable but not the
other way around.
Additionally, When you define a ``non-payable`` function pointer,
the compiler does not enforce that the pointed function will actually reject ether.
Instead, it enforces that the function pointer is never used to send ether.
Which makes it possible to assign a ``payable`` function pointer to a ``non-payable``
function pointer ensuring both types behave the same way, i.e, both cannot be used
to send ether.
If a function type variable is not initialised, calling it results
in a :ref:`Panic error<assert-and-require>`. The same happens if you call a function after using ``delete``
