Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
The Equality operator (==) compares the values of both the operands and checks for value equality. Whereas the ‘is’ operator checks whether both the operands refer to the same object or not.
Python3
# python3 code to # illustrate the # difference between# == and is operator# [] is an empty listlist1 = []list2 = []list3=list1if (list1 == list2): print("True")else: print("False")if (list1 is list2): print("True")else: print("False")if (list1 is list3): print("True")else: print("False")list3 = list3 + list2if (list1 is list3): print("True")else: print("False") |
Output:
True False True False
- The output of the first if the condition is “True” as both list1 and list2 are empty lists.
- Second, if the condition shows “False” because two empty lists are at different memory locations. Hence list1 and list2 refer to different objects. We can check it with id() function in python which returns the “identity” of an object.
- The output of the third if the condition is “True” as both list1 and list3 are pointing to the same object.
- The output of the fourth if the condition is “False” because the concatenation of two lists always produces a new list.
Python3
list1 = []list2 = []print(id(list1))print(id(list2)) |
Output:
139877155242696 139877155253640
This shows list1 and list2 refers to different objects.
