What this snippet does
Strings are immutable; += in a loop repeatedly allocates new memory, degrading performance exponentially.
Expected output
01234
Why practise typing this
Typing performance & optimization code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
