What are the differences between pass by value and pass by reference in Python?

MagicBuddy

In Python, all arguments are passed by reference, but the behavior can seem like pass by value for immutable types.

Can you give me an example of pass by value?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! When you pass an integer to a function, it behaves like pass by value because integers are immutable.

And what about pass by reference?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

When you pass a list to a function, modifications to the list inside the function affect the original list, demonstrating pass by reference.
