confusion in python printing the lists -


in following python code, have list i.e. to_do_list of 2 lists i.e. other_events , grocery_list inserted item in grocery_list , deleted it.

my confusion is, when updated grocery_list, to_do_list automatically updated when deleted grocery_list, to_do_list not updated... why?

grocery_list = ['banana', 'mango', 'apple']  other_events =['pick kids','do laundry', 'dance class']  to_do_list = [other_events, grocery_list]  print(to_do_list)  grocery_list.insert(1,'onions');  print(grocery_list)  del grocery_list  print(to_do_list)

its output is:

[['pick kids', 'do laundry', 'dance class'], ['banana', 'mango', 'apple']] ['banana', 'onions', 'mango', 'apple'] [['pick kids', 'do laundry', 'dance class'], ['banana', 'onions', 'mango', 'apple']]

the reason why, when update grocery_list object to_do_list updated list to_do_list contain reference on grocery_list.

now, why after deleting grocery_list, to_do_list not updated keywork del doesn't delete object on delete grocery_list namespace.

here quote python language reference on del :

deletion of name removes binding of name local or global namespace

arrays - What causes a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and how do I prevent it? -

what arrayindexoutofboundsexception mean , how rid of it? here code sample triggers exception: string[] name = {"tom", "dick", "harry"}; for(int = 0; i<=name.length; i++) { system.out.print(name[i] +'\n'); } your first port of call should documentation explains reasonably clearly: thrown indicate array has been accessed illegal index. index either negative or greater or equal size of array. so example: int[] array = new int[5]; int boom = array[10]; // throws exception as how avoid it... um, don't that. careful array indexes. one problem people run thinking arrays 1-indexed, e.g. int[] array = new int[5]; // ... populate array here ... (int index = 1; index <= array.length; index++) { system.out.println(array[index]); } that miss out first element (index 0) , throw exception when index 5. valid indexes here 0-4 inclusive. correct, idiomatic for statement here be: for (int index = 0; index <...
