Python List Multiplication Gotcha

🧠 Python Trap You’ll Probably Hit Once When you create a list using multiplication like * 3, Python doesn’t create separate inner lists. Instead, it creates multiple references to the same list in memory. So when you modify one, all of them change together. But when you use a list comprehension, each inner list is created independently. That means changes stay isolated, exactly as you’d expect. This small difference is responsible for a lot of confusing bugs, especially in nested data structures. Reference: https://lnkd.in/gWBiknUH #pythonprogramming #learnpython #coding #python
