Python Functions execute in wrong order, why?

When I run the program, it first waits until I enter input, then it will play the sound, then it shows the window with my image. Why is it doing this out of order? 

from tkinter import *
import winsound

main = Tk()
main.state('zoomed')
main.geometry("1366x768")

# Displays a gif.
def show():
    dollar_canvas = Canvas(width=50, height=50, bg='lightgrey', highlightthickness=0)
    dollar_canvas.place(x=850, y=25)
    my_gif = PhotoImage(file='Dollar50x50.gif')
    dollar_canvas.image = my_gif
    dollar_canvas.create_image(0, 0, image=my_gif, anchor=NW)

# Accepts an input, such as enter.
def getinput():
    a = input()

# Plays a ring sound.
def play():
    winsound.PlaySound('money', winsound.SND_ALIAS)


show()
getinput()
play()

mainloop()

They aren't running out of order. Throw in a few print statements to see the order they are executing in. The problem is that until the event loop (mainloop) runs, tkinter doesn't have an opportunity to update the display. In your code mainloop won't run until the other functions finish.

To force the display to update you can call root.update_idletasks().
