Hello
Welcome. This is apparently your first post, or at least first for
quite a while.
Note that this is a text forum (usenet, mailing list), and doesn't
properly support either html messages nor attachments. Just tell your
mailer to use text, and paste your problem code into your message
instead of trying to attach it.
I hereby would like to share the problem I have found regarding python list
implementation:-
As per python documentation python list is mutable data object.
That problem I found with the list is that is behaves differently when we use
'+=' and '+' '=' operators separately.
For example-
a=a+1 and a +=1 both behave in same way for all data types except python list
Please find the attached module and execute it on windows python32, See the
difference in output.
I'm going to guess what your problem is, without seeing your module.
list1 = list2 = [1, 3, 5]
list1 += [7]
print(list1, list2)
#The += operator will affect list 2, not just list1.
list1 = list2 = [1, 3, 5]
list1 = list1 + [7]
print(list1, list2)
#The + operator makes a new object, and binds it to list1, leaving
# list2 unchanged.
This is exactly according to spec, and will work the same for any
mutable type. For immutable types, the first behavior cannot happen, so
it changes to the second.
It's certainly possible some other mutable types will behave
differently, as each object type can implement its own behavior, based
on its special methods.
No time right now to test this, so apologies if I have typos.
