time goes like c# string -- immutable.

drop it, it's collected, as a garbage, by the system.

updating, what's updated is only another instance based on the original bytes.

new one, what you got is just a new one, the old one is still unchanged, floating as an orphan in the memory space.

the value never changes -- immutable, until collected or, the process exits.

still not clear about the logic trace, but well, maybe this is the history of human language, ever evolving...

comment What's the pronoun for “object of a preposition”?
@Circeus , thanks, let me summarize again. 1. question sentences' format are driven by the preposition preceding its Interrogative pronouns. de or à are special case. 2a. avec/pour/...(except de or à) qui = avec/pour/... lequel/laquelle/lesquels/lesquelles; 2b. à qui = auquel; 2c. dont = duquel/desquels/de laquelle/desquelles/d'ou . 3. In 2a or 2b, prep. + qui is preferred when refeering to somebody, instead of something. 4. for 2c, dont has a priority unless de is in a locution (e.g. compound preposition), e.g. au cours de, à l'aide de, près de.

thanks! so auquel = à qui je, duquel = dont, avec/pour lequel/laquelle/... = avec/pour qui. Hmm, why in the last example "duquel" is not possible?
