<x> will be [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] ] 5 original items, and 1 list object

x[ : ] means to create a new list object, copy all items from <x>. But it is a different object, not a reference copy. That is why the 6-th element is a list object (a copy of <x>) There's a chapter in the tutorial https://www.sololearn.com/learn/JUMP_LINK__&&__Python__&&__JUMP_LINK/2453/
