Tricks in Python

阅读本文大约需要2分钟

Python code shows as follows:

What will happen after the operation ?

A、list1 = (1,[2,3,6,7],(4,5));

B、Error

C、Both

Think for a while, and the right answer is C.

But why?

Dissemble the program and you will know the process.

STEP 1: get the list (list1[1])

STEP 2: revise the list in-place

STEP 3: return the new tuple element into object

STEP 4: for tuple is an immutable object, a Type Error is thus triggered

However, its member (list1[1]) has already modified

We can examine the explanation by id()

The similar trick also applies to copy.

Function parameters should also be carefully used.

Summary:

For mutable objects, changes happen in-place (with the same id)

eg，list

For immutable objects, create, initialize and then set value (id changes)

eg，number, tuple
