When applicable, this optimization makes quadratic run-time much less likely. This optimization is both version and implementation dependent. For performance sensitive code, it is preferrable to use the \method{str.join()} method which assures consistent linear concatenation performance across versions and implementations. -\versionchanged[Formerly, string concatenation never occurred inplace]{2.4} +\versionchanged[Formerly, string concatenation never occurred in-place]{2.4} \end{description} |
