You may find that the question on ‘memory’ is addressed [here](https://discuss.python.org/t/python-memory-management/25391).

As for the last two lines of your code (which are the same?)

`print(s[2:] is s[4:])`

If you `print(s[2:], s[4:])`, you’ll see

```plaintext
string ring

```

… which are clearly different, and as such `print(s[2:] is s[4:])` will return `False`
