Consider the following Python code: x = 5
. What is the fundamental distinction between using =
and ==
?
- Both `=` and `==` perform assignment, but `==` also checks for data type.
- Both `=` and `==` perform equality comparison, but `==` returns a boolean.
- `=` performs equality comparison, while `==` assigns a value.
- `=` assigns a value, while `==` performs equality comparison. (correct)

What is the consequence of attempting to directly modify a string object in Python?
What is the consequence of attempting to directly modify a string object in Python?
- Python raises a TypeError exception due to the immutability of strings. (correct)
- The string is modified in place, and the original string object is updated.
- The program continues without error, but the modifications are not applied.
- A new string object is created with the modifications, and the original variable now points to this new object.
