Original sentence: Even a string of length zero can require memory to store it, depending on the format being used.Some languages treat some or all of the following in similar ways: empty strings, null references, the integer 0, the floating point number 0, the Boolean value false, the ASCII character NUL, or other such values.Strings are typically stored at distinct memory locations.This means that the same string (for example, the empty string) could be stored in two or more places in memory
Edited sentence: (Note that even a string of length zero can require memory to store it, depending on the format being used.Individual strings are typically stored in consecutive memory locations.Some languages treat some or all of the following in similar ways, which can lessen the danger: empty strings, null references, the integer 0, the floating point number 0, the boolean value false, the ASCII character NUL, or other such values.This means that the same string (for example, the empty string) could be stored in two different places in memory
