Python Programming

Secondly, remember that everything is an object in Python. That includes functions. So you can assign a function to a variable.

def do_math(x, y):
    return x*y+2**x
 
z = do_math
print(z(3, 4))
print(type(z))    ## What is the type?
print(z)          ## What is z?

Note the difference between the code above to the one below. Make sure you understand the difference! The one above assigns z to the function do_math. The second assigns z to the value returned after calling do_math().

z = do_math(3, 4)
print(type(z))    ## What is the type?
print(z)          ## What is z?
