What’s the difference between a shallow copy and a deep copy in Python?

In Python, a shallow copy copies references to objects, so changes to nested objects affect both copies. A deep copy creates independent copies of all objects recursively. To fully understand this, it's essential to learn Python fundamentals. Many Python training online options cover this topic in-depth. Enroll in a Python certification course to build strong, practical skills for handling such concepts confidently.
