In python just think of assignment as making a name *be* an object. And
if you assign one name to another name, that makes both names be the
same object. When names are unbound (either they go out of scope or you
manually unbind them), the objects they are bound to are garbage collected.
"Object" here being the memory location, right?
When we say a = 5
a = an easy way for calling that "fixed memory location" that holds our
value, instead of calling it in binary format or in hex format.
This is the direct object a is pointing too. Correct?
5 = *this* is the indirect object that a outputs when we print a.
Are the above statements correct Michael?
a = 5
b = a
a <---> memory address
b <---> memory address
I like to think a and b as references to the same memory address
