> A collection of tricky Python examples
Python being an awesomoe higher level language, provides us many functionalities for our comfort. But sometimes, the outcomes may not seem obvious to a normal Python user at the first sight. Here's an attempt to collect such examples and see what exactly is happening under the hood! I find it a nice way to learn internals of a language and I think you'll like them as well!

Here the integer isn't smart enough while executing `y = 257` to recongnize that we've already created an integer of the value `257` and so it goes on to create another object in the memory.
**Both `a` and `b` refer to same object, when initialized with same value in same line**

## A tic-tac-toe where X wins in first attempt!
```py
# Let's initialize a row
row = [""]*3 #row i['', '', '']
# Let's make a bord
board = [row]*3
```
**Output:**
```py
>>> board
[['', '', ''], ['', '', ''], ['', '', '']]
>>> board[0]
['', '', '']
>>> board[0][0]
''
>>> board[0][0] = "X"
>>> board
[['X', '', ''], ['X', '', ''], ['X', '', '']]
```
### Explanation
When we initialize `row` varaible, this visualization explains what happens in the memory

And when the `board` is initialized by multiplying the `row`, this is what happens inside the memory (each of the elements board[0], board[1] and board[2] is a reference to the same list referred by `row`)

## Beware of default mutable arguments
```py
def some_func(default_arg=[]):
default_arg.append("some_string")
return default_arg
```
**Output:**
```py
>>> some_func()
['some_string']
>>> some_func()
['some_string', 'some_string']
>>> some_func([])
['some_string']
```
## You can't change the values contained in tuples.. Oh really?
