| Oct 31, 2016 at 11:25 | comment | added | chocochaos | Uhm, it's not one a, it's a string of 4*10^9 as. There no way not go over the 4GB if you're going to put 3 times as many as in there. Ob_flush has nothing to do with it, the point of the second example is to output large strings at once instead of outputting small amounts of characters each time, which results in the program running quite a bit faster, at the cost of more memory usage. | |
