Let's say "a" is a char and "b" a string. Why does it take longer to compute b+a than a+b? Strange, isn't it?

Jump to PostI think it has to do with storage in memory and the fact that different types are allocated memory in different ways.

maybe its the way the compiler evaluates the addition...maybe because char is first and string second or some weird thing....it could also due to some thing happening in the memory where the char or string is located...who knows
