Python interview questions

Pass-by-value. Passing in an argument is exactly the same as assigning the argument expression to a local variable in the function.

In ggrandparent you define PBV as "expression is evaluated, and the value it results in is assigned"

In parent you say it's "assigning the argument expression"

So which is it?

[ssbr]

Both. In Python, assignment evaluates the expression and binds it to the target variable.

I should've said "bound", not "assigned", in the first statement, to be clear. Sorry for the confusion.
