Our last topic in this section will be to use our object-based memory model to visualize variable reassignment and object mutation in Python. Consider this simple case of variable …

Jan 31, 2014 · A variable is simply a name which you use to reference an object. 20000 and 1000000 are two unique integer objects. This means that they will never share the same …

I foolishly forget to assign the returned object to a variable: >>> open("random_file.txt") <open file 'random_file.txt', mode 'r' at 0x158f780> Is there a way to directly assign the memory address …

When we assign a value to a variable, what really happens is that an address is assigned. The built-in function id(object)returns the memory address of object.

Remember the rule of variable reassignment: an assignment statement <name> = ... only changes what object the variable <name> refers to, but never changes any other variables. …

The first mental model we will explain is the box and arrow diagram which we have used before to show a variable. Re-Assignment. We will start with a simple example of re-assignment.
