Return Value¶
#TODO
Time Complexity¶
#TODO
Note¶
CPython implementation detail: This is the address of the object in memory.
Remarks¶
This is an integer (or long integer) which is guaranteed to be unique and constant for this object during its lifetime. Two objects with non-overlapping lifetimes may have the same id() value.
Example¶
>>> l1 = [1, 2]
>>> l2 = [1, 2]
>>> id(l1)
46449768
>>> id(l2)
46210984
>>> id(l1) == id(l2)# note that objects with the same value can have different ids
False
>>> l1 == l2
True
