people, I have a question about names. In the following example, what do you call the first line of this function (everything from `def` through the colon)?

Followup question: When someone refers to the "function definition" does that make you think of the entire function, or just part of it?

def report_observation(bird: str) -> str: """Report a birding observation.""" return f"A {bird} was seen during the count period." msg = report print(msg)
