Python Identity Comparison Confusion
What is wrong ? a = 256 b = 256 a is b True a = 257 b = 257 a is b False
A programming screenshot shows Python comparing whether two separately assigned integers are the same object. The joke is that Python may intern small or commonly used integers, making `a is b` unexpectedly return True for 256 but False for 257; it is shared as a humorous reaction to Python’s unintuitive behavior.
