Deepish Copy

You saw in lecture the difference between a shallow copy and a deep copy.

Write a function deepishCopy$($xx$)$ that takes a list of lists xx and returns a deepish copy of that list. What we mean is that your function should create a new list and add shallow copies of everything to that list. So$,$ given

xx $=[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],5]$ yy $=[[[1,3],[3,4]],[4,6],23]$

deepishCopy$($xx$)$ will completely copy everything in xx$.$

deepishCopy$($yy$)$ will completely copy $[4,6]$ and $23,$ but the $[[1,3],[3,4]]$ will be a shallow copy.

$($For the more technically inclined, this means you do not need recursion.$)$

Running it$,$ we could get this behavior:

$>>>$ xx$2=$ deepishCopy$($xx$)>>>$ xx$[1][1]=999>>>$ xx$,$xx$2[[1,2,3],[4,999,6],5],[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],5]>>>$ yy $=$ deepishCopy$($yy$)>>>$ yy$[0][0][1]=999>>>$ yy$[1][0]=888>>>$ yy$,$yy$2[[[1,999],[3,4]],[888,6],23],[[[1,999],[3,4]],[4,6],23]$

Do not use the built$-$in deepcopy to do this. It will do too much.

Hint: the code type$($x$)==$ list will be useful to you.

The setup code gives the following variables:

Your code snippet should define the following variables:
