Question 73

Immediately after Python executes a plain def statement with no decorators, but before the function is called, what has happened?

  1. A function object has been created and named.Correct answer
  2. Only text has been recorded; no object exists yet.
  3. The body has run once automatically.
  4. The name will be bound by the first call.

Explanation

Executing def creates a function object and binds the declared name to it at that moment. The body waits for a call, so claiming that def immediately runs the body confuses definition with invocation.
