### ▶ Reverse all! *

```py
>>> a = bytearray('1234567890')
>>> b = a
>>> a
bytearray(b'1234567890')
>>> b
bytearray(b'1234567890')
>>> b.reverse()
>>> b
bytearray(b'0987654321')
>>> a
bytearray(b'0987654321')
```

I just want to reverse `b`, but `a` is also reversed!

```py
>>> aList = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
>>> bList = aList
>>> aList
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
>>> bList
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
>>> bList.reverse()
>>> bList
['e', 'd', 'c', 'b', 'a']
>>> aList
['e', 'd', 'c', 'b', 'a']
```

I just want to reverse `bList`, but `aList` is also reversed!

#### 💡 Explanation:

* In Python, Assignment statements in Python do not copy objects, they create bindings between a target and an object.
* If we want apply an new memory for our new variable, we need to use `copy.copy(x)` to execute shallow copying or `copy.deepcopy(x)` to execute deep copying.

```py
>>> a = bytearray(b'1234567890')
>>> b = a.copy()
>>> a
bytearray(b'1234567890')
>>> b
bytearray(b'1234567890')
>>> b.reverse()
>>> b
bytearray(b'0987654321')
>>> a
bytearray(b'1234567890')
```
