Understanding Python memory management with dict -


this question has answer here:

when writing python codes using dict, found out following behavior of code:

in [1]: def foo(bar_dict):    ...:     print id(bar_dict)    ...:     bar_dict['new'] = 1    ...:     return bar_dict    ...:   in [2]: old_dict = {'old':0}  in [3]: id(old_dict) out[3]: 4338137920  in [4]: new_dict = foo(old_dict) 4338137920  in [5]: new_dict out[5]: {'new': 1, 'old': 0}  in [6]: id(new_dict) out[6]: 4338137920  in [7]: old_dict out[7]: {'new': 1, 'old': 0}  in [8]: id(old_dict) out[8]: 4338137920

the old_dict, new_dict , bar_dict inside foo function point on memory address. there 1 dict object stored in memory, pass dict inside function.

i want know more detail kind of memory management mechanism of python, can points me references explain this? also, when use list, set or str in python, there similar behavior?

python names references objects stored on heap. handing objects function call passes in references, binding argument name same object.

you created dictionary object, , bound old_dict object. passed name foo() function, binding local name bar_dict same object. in function manipulated object, , returned it. stored reference returned object in new_dict, resulting in 2 global names referencing same object.

javascript - Highcharts multi-color line -

Image
i looking create highchart multi-colored line. if goes down under value, become red, , when comes on value, become green . here picture example: or maybe highcharts have other charts models differentiate high or low level color? you can achieve coloring using lineargradient coloring: color: { lineargradient: { x1: 0, x2: 0, y1: 0, y2: 1 }, stops: [ [0, 'red'], [0.25, 'yellow'], [0.50, 'green'], [0.75, 'yellow'], [1, 'red'] ] } here 0 in stops relates minimum value of series , 1 maximum value, , in between percentages between values. if find percentages according values prior creating chart use correct stops values make relate specific values in data (at least approximately). see this jsfiddle example .
