So I have an object, that has data and values to you. Rather specific values to it. I would like to make a copy of this object and assign it to another variable and then break the association such that I can manipulate data in ObjectA and it doesn’t affect ObjectB; similarly changes in ObjectB does not affect ObjectA. How can I do that?
