REST APIs with Flask and Python - Mutability in Python

The video tutorial explains the concept of mutability in Python, highlighting how it affects programming. It clarifies the difference between names and references, emphasizing that variables are names for objects. The tutorial discusses mutable and immutable types, providing examples like lists, tuples, and integers. It explains that lists are mutable, meaning they can be changed, while tuples and integers are immutable. The video also covers Python's optimization for integers and the implications of immutability for strings and other types. The tutorial concludes with a summary of key points.
