Question

text1 = "korea"
text2 = "korea"
textlist1 =[1, 2, 3]
textlist2 =[1, 2, 3]
print(text1 is text2)
print(textlist1 is textlist2)

Answer 1

Attach the following code to your code to get some understanding how python stores variables.

print(id(text1))
print(id(text2))
print(id(textlist1))
print(id(textlist2))

Also, check HonFu codes because he has a very good explanation amongst them

Answer 3

An array is an object, and when comparing two objects it checks if they are the same object, it doesn't check the values inside the array.

Try running this code:

arr1 = [1, 2, 5]
arr2 = arr1
arr2[0] = 7
print(arr1)

You should see that when you assigned arr1 to arr2 and changed arr2, the values also changed in arr1, because they refer to the same object.
