If a Python function modifies an argument of type list, the caller’s corresponding variable is modified to match.Question 5Select one:TrueFalse

Answer

The statement is True.

In Python, when a list (which is a mutable object) is passed as an argument to a function, any modifications made to that list inside the function will affect the original list outside the function. This occurs because the function receives a reference to the original list, not a copy of it. Therefore, changes such as appending, removing, or modifying items will be reflected in the list that was passed in.

For example:

def modify_list(my_list):
    my_list.append(4)

original_list = [1, 2, 3]
modify_list(original_list)
print(original_list)  # Output will be [1, 2, 3, 4]

In this example, the original_list is modified because the function modify_list worked on a reference to the same list.
