+**Identity vs. Equality**
+
+Should I be using `is` or `==`?
+
+To check if two objects are equal, use the equality operator (`==`).
+```py
+x = 5
+if x == 5:
+ print("x equals 5")
+if x == 3:
+ print("x equals 3")
+# Prints 'x equals 5'
+```
+To check if two objects are actually the same thing in memory, use the identity comparison operator (`is`).
+```py
+list_1 = [1, 2, 3]
+list_2 = [1, 2, 3]
+if list_1 is [1, 2, 3]:
+ print("list_1 is list_2")
+reference_to_list_1 = list_1
+if list_1 is reference_to_list_1:
+ print("list_1 is reference_to_list_1")
+# Prints 'list_1 is reference_to_list_1'
+```
