a mutable object can be changed after it is created, and an immutable object can’t. Immutable objects doesn’t allow modification after creation. **Checking immutability** >>> a=5 >>> b=a >>> id(a)==id(b) True >>> a=a+1 >>> print(a,b) 6 5 >>> id(a)==id(b) False **Check mutability** >>> a=[1,2] >>> b=a >>> id(a)==id(b) True >>> a[0]=3 >>> print(a,b) [3, 2] [3, 2] >>> id(a)==id(b) True

so mutable means that I can arrange them in any order. and immutable means that I must state the variable first then it's contents?
