x = ["apple", "banana"]

y = ["apple", "banana"]

z = x

​

print(x is z)

​

# returns True because z is the same object as x

​

print(x is y)

​

# returns False because x is not the same object as y, even if they have the same content

​

print(x == y)

​

# to demonstrate the difference betweeen "is" and "==": this comparison returns True because x is equal to y
