## Decorator

@hijack
def add(x,y): return x+y

@hijack
def mul(x,y): return x*y

## How Does the Interpreter Handle '@*decorator*'?
- Since running the program, it interpretes '@*decorator*' as '*func* = *decorator*(*func*)' (even if you don't call *func*)

- In other words, it refers *func* as *decorator*'s first positional parameter, then paste the *func* memo on the returned value of *decorator*(*func*)

### (Simulate) A decorator with parameters:

def decowithparam(v=False):
    def deco(f):
        def decoo(*p,*pp):
            ...
        return decoo
    return deco
@decowithparam(False)
def add(...): ...

@decowithparam(True)
def mul(...): ...
