01 — THE THINKING PARTNER

Ask the
next question.

Astra helps you work through software concepts, read an error and explore an approach. Bring your curiosity; keep asking until you have a next step you can try.

ILLUSTRATIVE CONVERSATION

Why does changing one list change the other?

✳

Both names can point to the same list. A second name isn't a second copy.

Try b = a.copy(), then change b. What happens to a now?

Understand the idea. Test the explanation.
02 — THE HANDS-ON PART

Thinking is good.
Running it is better.

Write code, run it and read the output in Code Lab. Explore Python, Java, SQL, C and C++ as you move from a concept to something you can inspect.
