PyTest - Writing Assertions

In pytest, what does the is not operator verify when used in assertions?

AThat two variables are equal in content

BThat two variables have different values

CThat two variables do not reference the same object

DThat two variables are both None

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand is not operator
The is not operator checks if two variables do not point to the same object in memory.
Step 2: Differentiate from equality
It does not compare values but object identity, so different objects with same content are considered different.
Final Answer:
That two variables do not reference the same object -> Option C
Quick Check:
Check object identity, not value equality [OK]

Quick Trick: Use 'is not' to check different objects, not values [OK]
