In the following Code the function g() is called twice, but why? Is it because in function f() that x=g and than function x() is called but in fact it is g()?



x = 99

def f():
x = g
x()
x = 17

def g():
global x
x = 14

g()
f()

You can also check this by simply adding a print statement as in the following:



x = 99

def f():
x = g
print(x)
x()
x = 17

def g():
global x
x = 14

g()
f()


Output would be: <function g at 0x7f2147265c80> which shows that printing x in line 4 is indeed calling the function g()
