No, it's not the same;  here he did not capitalize the function names. 
Previously they look like class instantiations.

Trailing semi colons are legal in most cases.  The semi-colon is a
separator between statements, when one wants to put multiple statements
on one line.

Actually no.  In C, a function name without parentheses is also a
function pointer.  Not exactly the same as a function object, though C++
gets a lot closer.  But the real reason C catches that typo is that the
types most likely don't match, depending on what you meant to do with
the return value.

Function objects are enormously useful, as you get more adept at using
Python.
