Python programming

Question

In python programming What does "def" stand for ?
When creating a function

Answer 1

It is just the standard keyword or reserved word to define a function or method

Answer 2

def is keyword which defines functions and methods

def test():
pass
#this is function

class Test:
def test(self):
pass
#this is method

What's more, all definitions are evaluated before script is run, so all code defined in definition will be run:

def fun(x=print('test')):
pass

#output: test
