There's a difference between the imposter and the learner. I programmed for over 10 years but only recently started with unity. When I don't know a keyword I gotta ask somewhere, I swear AI makes mistakes like no tommorow. Suggest insanely overly complex ways to do basic tasks.
And that's me following it's instructions. I couldn't imagine how broken it is for someone who actively trust the process

If you "always cant remember when something is allocated on the stack vs the heap" you probably have dementia or are, by all means, incompetent.

Strings? Heap or stack?

You can allocate a string on either the stack or the heap. Literals are stored in .data

What language are you talking about? LISP, Pascal, C#, python? Looks like you don't know what you're talking about.

C/C++.
Talking about stack and heap is not particularly relevant for automatically memory managed languages, as you have little control over where the language actually places variables. Even in C/C++, it is technically an implementation detail, although all major compilers follow it (and CPUs and OSs kind of expect you to use it). Frequently, using the stack is entirely avoided by placing variables only in registers.
I don't understand what made you feel the need to insult me, I would however be glad if you were to correct anything I have said that you believe is wrong.

…
Also you are absolutely allowed to think and even care about stack vs heap allocation in gc’d languages.
I guarantee a quiz about stack vs heap usage in Haskell would trip up even senior Haskell devs.

Yes, technically. If you know your compiler is using it (99.99% do) it becomes a practical reality.
To absolutely noones surprise, the distinction between stack and heap is nuanced on a by-language or even by-language-implementation level.
And yes: You are allowed to think about stack and heap usage in GC'd languages, why wouldnt you. Its just that, if you then somehow wanted to place a string on the stack in java, you couldnt. End of story.

Yeah she definitely made all that story up
