Exam PCEP-30-02 topic 1 question 25 discussion

Create a dictionary: data = {'name': 'Peter', 'age': 30} creates a dictionary with two key-value pairs. Make a copy: person = data.copy() creates a new dictionary person that is a copy of data. This means person has its own memory address, separate from data. Compare IDs: id(data) == id(person) compares the memory addresses of data and person. Since they are different objects, their IDs will not be equal, resulting in False. Selected Answer: A

This method doesn’t modify the original, dictionary just returns copy of the dictionary. if we do person = data >>> result would be True

a is correct answer / copy and [:] are swallow copies so id changes
