Question

code is in python
def a(x,y,z):
if x :
return y
else:
return z

def b(y,z):
return(y>z , y , z)

now if we do
>>>b(a , b)
it returned the function a so i want to know that how python is comparing two functions , here they are a and b.?

Answer 1

may go to this : http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html

Answer 2

That's a good question. I believe that the functions themselves are not being compared, their memory addresses are being compared, which is not particularly meaningful. Also, I believe you can't even do this is Python 3 (I mean, why would you want to?).
