Function assignment - don’t do this

One can go crazy and assign a function to another existing function. Then the old exiting function is gone and it now does something completely different.

It is probably not a very good idea to do this.

numbers = [2, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1]
print(sum(numbers))   # 12
print(max(numbers))   #  4

sum = max
print(sum(numbers))   #  4
print(max(numbers))   #  4


sum = lambda values: len(values)
print(sum(numbers))   # 6
