I have a question about the MyTeacher YourTeacher thing.
“>>> MyTeacher = "Mrs. Goodyear"
>>> YourTeacher = MyTeacher
>>> MyTeacher
"Mrs. Goodyear"
>>> YourTeacher
"Mrs. Goodyear”

The question in the cartoon says "If we replaced Mrs. Goodyear with Mrs. Tysick, would YourTeacher change to Mrs. Tysick?"

The book says No, and I do not understand why? Won't it just assign YourTeacher whatever the value of MyTeacher is in the program? I wrote the program and changed the name and every name you change it to is the name YourTeacher is given.

“>>> MyTeacher = "Mrs. Tysick"
>>> YourTeacher = MyTeacher
>>> MyTeacher
"Mrs. Tysick"
>>> YourTeacher
"Mrs. Tysick”


Why does the book say No to that question? I don't understand the whole sticking a label on something else when the word replace was used in the text.

Thanks for any assistance.

Good question, Carter! But you just change ALL name.
The right example from the book is:

>>> myTeacher = "Mrs. Kate"
>>> yourTeacher = myTeacher
>>> print myTeacher
Mrs. Kate
>>> yourTeacher
'Mrs. Kate'

>>> myTeacher = "Mark"
>>> print yourTeacher
Mrs. Kate
>>> print myTeacher
Mark

It's just about logic of this python's language. Need to remember it.
