Consider the following for-loop:
def function(list, x, y):
list[x] = y
print(list)
list = [1,2,3]
for i in range(3):
copyOfList = list
function(copyOfList, i, 100)
I'm expecting the following output:
> [100, 2, 3]
> [1, 100, 3]
> [1, 2, 100]
Why?
Everytime before I run function, I do reinitialize copyOfList like this:
copyOfList = list
But Python gives me the following output:
> [100, 2, 3]
> [100, 100, 3]
> [100, 100, 100]
How can I achieve the desired output, and what is the reason behind Pythons output?
