Answer 1

because f is not s.. if you write print(f == s), the result is true..

Answer 2

This has less to do with the variables, and more to do with the comparison you're using.

While 'is' and '==' appear to be the same, they're not.

'is' compares immutable identities (objects) in the system memory.
'==' compares values.

'is' will look in the system memory and compare one immutable object to another. It can compare small mutable values and still return True, but don't rely on it.
If you were for example:

a = 36834639891
b = 36834639890 +1
print(a is b)
print(a == b)
# FALSE
# True

The above doesn't work because b changed and became mutable. But if you for example compared:

a = 36834639891
b = 36834639891
print(a is b)
print(a == b)
# True
# True

The above will output True because both objects are immutable and the same.

Then you'll probably ask me, (why then can I do "aa" is "a" + "a"? How come that works then Sapphire?)

Well, there's an easy answer to that. Strings are immutable all the time. When you add one string into another, it doesn't actually add anything to the original, what ends up happening is python creates a new string, with the original, plus the new string. So it remains immutable, and thus, 'is' still returns True.

So, going back to the code. Both lists aren't the same, because they're both mutable, and not the same objects in the system memory.

Beyond this explanation, is out of my area.

Answer 3

Because s and f are cointainers (list, dictionary, set, tuple) and one cointainer is never totaly the same as another one... but it can be equal(hope you understand)
