Say I have this:
greet = "hello world"
and I want to change the letters in this variable to something else.
Why does
greet = "g".join("hello world")
work, if strings are meant to be immutable?
print(greet)

A variable is not the same as a string. – khelwood May 31 '22 at 17:43

you're reassigning `greet` to be a new object – Paul H May 31 '22 at 17:44

You might try printing `id(greet)` in a few places to see how it changes. – Fred Larson May 31 '22 at 17:49
