In Python’s realm, strings are woven tight,
Copy them well, or errors will take flight.
Concatenation’s not the same as true copy,
Understand immutability, or your code might be sloppy.

In this Python session, we are learning about string copy. We start by defining two string variables. We then use the assignment operator to copy the contents of one string into another. We also explore the concept of string immutability and how this affects string copy. We also learn that using the ” ” operator to concatenate strings does not actually perform a string copy. Lastly, we see that using the “str1 = str2” syntax to copy one string into another is not the same as performing a deep copy, as modifying one string will also affect the other. This session highlights the importance of understanding string copy and how it differs from other string operations.
