That code won't run for me as is, but if the 2nd line of fun1 was instead like this: def fun1(func, arg): return func(func(arg)) then 16 is because fun1(fun2, 2) fun2(fun2(2)) fun2(4) 16

calling fun1(fun2,2) returns fun2(fun2(2)) which evaluates as follows: fun2(2*2) as fun2(x)=x*x fun2(4) finally 4*4 hence 16
