🔥 is vs == in Python

Many developers confuse these two operators. 
But they check completely different things.

📌 == (Equality Operator)

== checks whether values are equal.

a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [1, 2, 3]

print(a == b)

```text
Output:
True

👉 Values are the same  
👉 Even though they are different objects


📌 is (Identity Operator)

is checks whether two variables point to the same object in memory.

python
a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [1, 2, 3]

print(a is b)

text
Output:
False

👉 They are stored at different memory locations  
👉 So identity is different


📌 When is returns True

python
x = [1, 2, 3]
y = x

print(x is y)

text
Output:
True`


👉 Both reference the SAME object

🎯 Quick Difference

• == → Compares values 
• is → Compares memory identity 
• Use == for value comparison 
• Use is mainly for None checks
