let's analyze what's happening in the given code:
str1 = 'Peter' assigns the string 'Peter' to the variable str1.
str2 = str1[:] creates a slice of str1 that includes all characters (from beginning to end). This effectively creates a copy of the string.
In Python, strings are immutable, which means when you create a copy of a string using slicing, it creates a new string object with the same content.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. str1 and str2 are different (but equal) strings.
This is true because:
str1 and str2 contain the same characters ('Peter')
They are equal in terms of content
However, they are separate string objects in memory
Options B, C, and D are incorrect:
B is wrong because they are not the same string object, but two different objects with the same content.
C and D are incorrect because both strings have the same length.
A is correct. Slicing creates a copy of the string. Therefore, they are different strings, but if you compare them for equality you the result will be True as they have the same content.
B is the correct answer, because their memory addresses are same if you check in your IDE.
hence B. str1 and str2 are different names of the same strings.
Please pay attention to the slice [:] at the end of the second row. It copies the content of the first str to another memory address. Therefore, the right answer is A.
