What are the different copy methods in Python?

In Python, the main copy methods are copy(), deepcopy(), and slicing. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain copy() and deepcopy().

copy() creates a shallow copy of an object, meaning it copies the object itself but not the objects it references. deepcopy() creates a deep copy, copying all objects recursively. This is useful for nested objects.

When should I use deepcopy() instead of copy()?

Use deepcopy() when you need to copy complex objects with nested structures, ensuring that changes to the copy do not affect the original.

Can you give an example of using both methods?

Sure! For a list of lists, copy() will only copy the outer list, while deepcopy() will copy both the outer and inner lists.
