Question regarding local and global variables
#2
Lists are mutable. It's the same object i.e. same id, but because lists sa mutable, the element at index 0 has changed.
c = [1, 2, 3]
print(id(c), c)
 
def demo():
    c[0] = 5
     
demo()
print(id(c), c)
Output:
139939046686920 [1, 2, 3] 139939046686920 [5, 2, 3]
