Is it possible to use function name as name of a variable?

for example sin = 1 is allowed, however I do not know is it correct or not? or myfunc = 2, if I have previously defined a myfunc() function. For example in case of sin = 1, sin() is also accepted, since sin is a scalar ([1]), but what if myfunc() has no parameters, this causes ambiguity?

[Stephen23]

It is a really really bad idea to do this:

sin = 1

because then you cannot call the function sin. Calling sin(1) gets the first element of the variable named sin, but because of this (bad) assignment it now has nothing to do with the function sin and only refers to the variable. Really bad idea. Just because something is possible does not make it a good idea to do it.

You can always assign any name to variable, but once you do, you are cut off from using the same name to invoke a function, until the variable is cleared or goes out of scope.
