Describe your suggestion

It would be helpful to introduce the concepts of deep copy vs. shallow copy before starting the 4th assignment in this chapter, particularly the assignment on palindromes. This is because some users might attempt to clean the array and then assign the cleaned array to another variable, subsequently calling reverse() on it.

@TheOdinProject/foundations Any thoughts on this?

I recently completed this lesson and while doing the exercises stumbled upon resources discussing a deep vs shallow copy, so I definitely agree it would make sense to include something on it.

This issue is stale because it has had no activity for the last 30 days.

Need more team input, but at this point in the curriculum this does not feel right to cover. There could probably be mention of it somewhere later in the curriculum, before to-do but after foundations.
