When user enters in a textfield, is the input of textfield gets stored in a String ? If yes, then String in swift being immutable, as user keeps on typing does new memory for storing that text gets allocated with each key stroke ?
And when we read users input by using delegate method textField(_ textField: UITextField, shouldChangeCharactersIn range: NSRange, replacementString string: String) from textfield.text, we get users input in a String. Is it same storage as used by textfield for storing the user input on key stroke or is it some other storage with copy of the user's input in it?
Or is UItextfield using a diffrent data structure (buffer) for storing the user input and when we do textfield.text, it gives a copy of data stored in original buffer?
