Deca Vs Tren: The Ultimate Showdown Updated For 2025
Short answer:
About 9‑10 kB of storage (≈ 9600 bytes).


---
Why?

The string contains only ASCII/UTF‑8 characters (a–z, ).
In UTF‑8 or plain ASCII each character occupies 1 byte.

However, https://www.zamsh.com/author/sounddavid0 the string is not just a raw sequence of characters.
In many programming languages it is represented as an object that stores:
Length/Size field – tells how many bytes are in the buffer (e.g., 4 or 8 bytes). Reference count / metadata – for garbage collection or reference counting. Possible alignment padding – to keep data aligned on natural boundaries.

Typical implementations add a few dozen bytes of overhead:

Length field: ~4 bytes Reference counter: ~4 bytes Alignment padding: up to 8 bytes

So the overall memory consumption becomes roughly

raw_bytes (≈ 400) + overhead (~60–80) ≈ 460–480 bytes.

In short: The actual number of bytes stored in a string variable is close to the raw character count, but most programming environments add additional metadata and alignment padding. That’s why an N‑character string often occupies more than just N bytes of memory.
