Python: Copy of a deque object and verify the shallow copying process
Python Collections: Exercise-11 with Solution
Write a Python program to copy of a deque object and verify the shallow copying process.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import collections
tup1 = (1,3,5,7,9)
dq1 = collections.deque(tup1)
dq2 = dq1.copy()
print("Content of dq1:")
print(dq1)
print("dq2 id:")
print(id(dq1))
print("\nContent of dq2:")
print(dq2)
print("dq2 id:")
print(id(dq2))
print("\nChecking the first element of dq1 and dq2 are shallow copies:")
print(id(dq1[0]))
print(id(dq2[0]))
Sample Output:
Content of dq1: deque([1, 3, 5, 7, 9]) dq2 id: 140706429557152 Content of dq2: deque([1, 3, 5, 7, 9]) dq2 id: 140706406914152 Checking the first element of dq1 and dq2 are shallow copies: 11065888 11065888

Use Reversed() In for Loops:
>>> tasks = ['laundry', 'picking up kids', 'gardening', 'cooking'] >>> for task in reversed(tasks): ... print(task) ... cooking gardening picking up kids laundry
