Does the def line run the function?
Short answer. No. It is only saved.
What does a call do?
It jumps into the function and back at the end.
Remember
| def is saved, not run |
| A call jumps in |
| At the end, it jumps back |
The def is on top. Does it run first? No. Python only saves the def. It prints A first. Then the call tea jumps in and prints B. Then it jumps back. A def is saved, not run. A call jumps in. At the end, it jumps back.
