Re: [Edu-sig] Python + JS == more than their sum()

A couple of points: - strings are immutable - every str.__add__ creates copies of strings - str1 += str2 is equivalwnt to str3 = str1 + str2 So, if, for example, we have a 1KB string and we keep += adding 1KB strings, the allocated memory looks like: str1 # 1KB str2 # 1KB str_n # 1KB
