______False # referring to the return value of outer; draw an environment diagram to see why it is False
>>> outer() == outer()
______False # == for functions behaves like is
>>> [1, 2, (3, 4)] == [1, 2, (3, 4)]
______True
>>> [1, 2, outer()] == [1, 2, outer()]
______False # == for list checks if each pair of elements satisfies ==Question 2
>>> a = [1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> a[0] = a
>>> a is a[0]
______True
>>> a = {'hi': 3}
>>> b = {'hi': 3}
>>> a is b
______False
>>> a == b
______True
