Hi All, Out of curiosity, I wanted to understand the reason behind having different memory location for two identical floats . This is unlike ints or strings. Tried googling but couldn't find anything concrete. Any links or references would be appreciated!
Example: For FLOATS: ========== >>> l = 1.3 >>> id(l) 140421602788216 >>> k = 1.3 >>> id(k) 140421602788240 >>> k == l True >>> k is l False For INTS and STRINGS: ================= >>> i = 2 >>> o = 2 >>> id(i), id(o) (140421602779712, 140421602779712) >>> i is o True >>> a1 = 'hi' >>> a2 = 'hi' >>> a1 is a2 True Thanks. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
