Answer 1

Imagine that both you and your friend bought the same sneakers (x = [sneakers], y = [sneakers]). They are equal to each other (x == y) in both style and price. But these are different sneakers (x is not y)

Answer 2

Almost always, but say 1 is always 1, or 'str' is always 'str'
x=1
y=1
print(x is y)
>>>True

Answer 3

Михаил Горчанюк does that mean whenever I input a,b=b,a
a is always not b?

Answer 4
