[SOLVED] Difference between 'is' and '==' in python

Question

According to geeksforgeeks the difference between 'is' and '==' in Python is that 'is' checks whether both operands refer to the same object or not whereas '==' checks whether both operands are equal or not.

In the below mentioned code why does 'is' doesn't show 40585 whereas '==' shows.

Answer 1

1. Do not use "is" to compare integers. You may not get the results you expect.

2. Python caches small integers for efficiency. Every time you create a reference to a small integer, you are referring to the cached number, not a new object.
