Hi
I am working on an exercise which requires me to write a funtion that
will check if a given word can be found in a given dictionary (the
hand).
def is_valid_word(word, hand, word_list):
"""
Returns True if word is in the word_list and is entirely
composed of letters in the hand. Otherwise, returns False.
Does not mutate hand or word_list."""
I don't understand this part: Does not mutate hand or word_list
I tried to google "python mutate list input" but to no avail
It would be great if someone could give me a brief explanantion of the
mutation concept.
I know that a ditionary is unordered. How Can i however avoid
'acidental' mutation?
Thanks
Baba
