Why does the assignment operation print?

I have the following code: def some_func(): print("Hi!") var = some_func() When I run this code I get the following output: Hi! I don't understand why "Hi!" gets printed. I don't run the function, I only assign it to the variable. Could someone please explain?

Try to assign only function name var = some_func # note there's no () Later on you can use <var> as you would some_func function. var() # calls some_func function The () after function name means to invoke the function. It is not needed to assign a function for a variable.

Aha, so the () part means the function call. Thanks everyone for your replies.

Before you assign the value, the function has to be executed. For example a function: def func(i): i += 50 return i x = func(30) func(30) should execute 30+50 before assign it to x.
