Explanation of Solution

Copying lists:

  • • In Python, to copy a list to another list, simply assign the list to be copied to another list
  • • Both the lists will be identical as they refer to the same object in the memory.

Example program:

#Create a list of strings

slist1 = ['Jack', 'John', 'James']

#Copy slist1 to slist2

slist2 = slist1

#Print the slist1

print(slist1)

#Print the slist2

print(slist2)

#Change a string in slist2

slist2[1] = 'Jacob'

#Print the slist1

print(slist1)

#Print the slist2

print(slist2)

Sample output:

['Jack', 'John', 'James']

['Jack', 'John',...
