Problem with Dictionary Copies - leusiam - 08-23-2023
Hello there,
I'm new to this and trying to make a clone of a dictionary so that I may make changes without harming the original, as I learnt from scaler's post. However, even after making the copy, the modifications I make appear to have an effect on both the copy and the original dictionary. This is my code:
Code:
original_dict = {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3}
copy_dict = original_dict
copy_dict['x'] = 100
print("Original Dictionary:", original_dict)
print("Copy Dictionary:", copy_dict)Surprisingly, both dictionaries exhibit the same 'x' value. I thought I'd made a separate duplicate, but it appears that modifications to one are affecting the other. How can I actually make a duplicate of the dictionary?
