Almost.  s/declare/define/  Unlike C and C++, Python doesn't have
separate "declaration" and "definition" statements.  In Python, "def"
is an executable statement that will create a function object and
create a binding to that object with the given name.  Once the
function object is created and bound to the name you can call it.
