How Python handles object references and memory management

🔍 Understanding Object References in Python 🐍 Ever wondered how variable assignments work under the hood in Python? Here’s a simple visual breakdown of object referencing and how Python handles memory: ✅ x = 5 → x points to the value 5 ✅ y = x → both x and y point to the same object (5) ✅ x = "Geeks" → x now points to a new object ("Geeks"), while y still points to 5 ✅ y = "Computer" → y now points to "Computer", and the value 5 becomes unreferenced (eligible for garbage collection) 🧠 This is a great example of how Python manages memory and object references—especially useful when working with mutable and immutable types. 💬 Have you encountered unexpected behavior due to object references in your code?
