''' Function invocations require parentheses ''' s = "Black hole image revealed for first time ever" x = s.split # Sooo all functions have () but if we don't then # Python is just like hey you're calling a function # that's built in that I'm familiar with on an object in memory # s is a String object at some location in memory 0x000... # Soo then later in line 15 what we did is we said that x() # is the function called on that string object s now so # values is the invocation call s.split() # So you can build an alias for a certain function call IF YOU WANT # but just invoke functions like normal using parentheses pls # unless ofc said to do otherwise print( x ) values = x() print( values )
