Example 1

def compose_greet_func():
    def get_message():
        return "Hello there!"

    return get_message

greet = compose_greet_func()
print greet()


Example 2 

def greet(name):
    return "hello "+name

greet_someone = greet
print greet_someone("John"

In Example 1, the function compoe_greet_func is assigned to the variable greet, 
and () is included at the end of the function.

However, in Example 2, the function greet is assigned to the variable 
greet_someone but () is excluded at the end of the function.

Does the () matter when assigning functions to variables? 

Thank you!
