javascript '=' operator shallow copy or deep copy
// The '=' operator in javascript can serve the purpose of shallow vs
// deep copy.
// The '=' operator in javascript will assign deep copy to primitive
// data types. For example:
let a = 10;
let b = a;
b = 4;
console.log(a);
// Output: 10
console.log(b);
// Output: 4
// The '=' operator in javascript will assign shallow copies to
// non-primitive data types. For example:
let a = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g'];
let b = a;
b.pop();
console.log(a);
// Output: ["a","b","c","d","e","f"]
console.log(b);
// Output: ["a","b","c","d","e","f"]

Featured snippet from the web
A deep copy means that all of the values of the new variable
are copied and disconnected from the original variable.
A shallow copy means that certain (sub-)values are still connected
to the original variable. To really understand copying,
you have to get into how JavaScript stores values
