Python Question / Quiz; What is the output of the following Python code, and why? Comment your answers below!

@PythonPr Answer: b ([10, 2, 3]). The trap: y = x doesn't copy the list! Lists are like boxes with name tags. y = x puts both tags (x and y) on the same box. y[0] = 10 changes the box, so both tags reflect the change. For beginners: To create a separate box, use y = x.copy().

@PythonPr B. [10, 2, 3] y is not a copy of x but rather reference to the list attached to x as well

@PythonPr B List is mutable data structure here both x and y have reference of list

@PythonPr a. because both x and y are not the list itself but just references to the list
