EDA Python - 06-4_variables_and_ids

The video tutorial explains how variable names in Python point to memory locations rather than values themselves. It demonstrates the behavior of immutable data types, like integers, where changing the original variable does not affect another variable that was set equal to it. In contrast, mutable data structures, such as lists, share the same memory location, so changes to one variable affect others pointing to the same list. The tutorial concludes by recommending the Python documentation for further learning.

How does appending a value to a list affect other variables referencing that list?

What should you keep in mind when working with variable references in Python to avoid unexpected outcomes?
