arr在python,python3.x中的arr [:] = []和arr [] = []之间的区别?

Is there any difference between these two lines:

arr[:] = []

arr = []

I know both of them clear list.

For the second one, I think you meant arr = [].

What that does differently is that it has arr point to a new empty list and just decrements the refcount on the existing list.

The difference is only important if something else is pointing to the original list.

>>> orig = [10, 20, 30]

>>> arr = orig # Second reference to the same list.

>>> arr[:] = [] # Clears the one list, so that arr and orig are empty

>>> orig

[]

Contrast that with:

>>> orig = [10, 20, 30]

>>> arr = orig # Second reference to the same list.

>>> arr = [] # Points arr to a new list, leaving orig unchanged

>>> orig

[10, 20, 30]
