  How can you be sure it’s not defined when we only see one line?

    They didn’t say it’s not defined, they said it’s not a valid name. Most languages don’t allow function names to start with a number, so 5 literally cannot be a function if that’s the case…

    But that’s assuming this isn’t some really obscure language.

  It could be a Church Numeral in which case function application is the same as addition and the answer is actually 10…

  Depends on the language.

  I’m pretty sure that’s a module operator…
