I recommend starting with 3.3 unless your are forced to use 2.x. I also recommend trying code before posting it.
I'm assuming that y is an object.
The name 'y' is bound to an object. The second assignment rebinds 'y' to a different object.
I'm also assuming that the second and the first y are different objects
It depends on whether by 'y' you mean the name, which remains the same, or the object it is bound to, which changes.
