Answer 2

sayyed usman oh sorry.
Actually in the code we assigned a new name to multiply function.
Now we have two names multiply and operation which are point to the same object.

Answer 3

See this code:
You see that they have the same id becausr thy are point to the same object.

Answer 4

Just function renamed like made it as alias for multiply..
So then multiply(a, b) is same as operation(a, b): it returning a*b =>7*4=28
