Answer: a. [1, 2, 3] The code initializes a list x with the values [1, 2, 3]. A copy of this list is then assigned to y using the x.copy() method. This creates a new, independent list for y. When 4 is appended to x, it only modifies the list x, leaving y unchanged.

Option a because before appending we have created a copy of x in y and appending is done in x not y so it will print 1,2,3


1. y = x.copy() creates a new list with the same elements as variable x 2. y is an independent list 3. x.append(4) updates list x becoming [1, 2, 3, 4]. List y remains unchanged 4. Therefore print(y) outputs [1, 2, 3] on the console


First we copy x to y, making y=[1,2,3]. Then the append command is for x, i.e adding 4 to x. This has no effect on y, which means y remain same as y=[1,2,3]. Therefore, answer is option a


a. I am still pissed at python for loop for not functioning like C loop.

Ans. a. [1, 2, 3] x.append(4) applies to x, y remains the same.


just watched this yt with a pelvic health expert, all women should see this super interesting info tbh


A...the append refers to the initial variable x, while the print functions calls the y value


a, copy's change cannot influence x


A copy method of list return copy of original list therefore x and y refers to different memory location


a) [1,2,3] if we use y=x instead of y=x.copy() then the output is b) [1,2,3,4].


1,2,3 Your copy was from before the append


@grok answer this i think it would be option b its a shallow copy
