Functions and types and activation gibberish.

Question

I just restarted coding in Python, then I thought if you could activate functions with their respective names. So I tried:

x = input("Activate function: ")
x = function(x)
x()

Forgive me if I suck at Python, I just restarted and am just 12.

Answer 1

python functions:

def fun(x):
# do something

Maybe you could compare the input to a string and if they are equal, then execute the function?
