Python Copy Lists

In Python, you can create a copy of a list using several methods. Here are some common ways to copy lists:

Using the slice operator [:]:

# Creating a list
original_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Making a copy of the list using the slice operator
copied_list = original_list[:]

print(copied_list)  # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
           
        

Using the copy() method:

# Creating a list
original_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Making a copy of the list using the copy() method
copied_list = original_list.copy()

print(copied_list)  # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

           
        

Using the list() constructor:

# Creating a list
original_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

# Making a copy of the list using the list() constructor
copied_list = list(original_list)

print(copied_list)  # Output: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
