*@Jan*, The example you shown it is copying a string to new variable. but my question was related to same variable.
I want to know if I have variable : x := "testsring" Now it overwrite the content of same variable x to some other value: x = "new1string" Will it overwrite the same memory or it will create some copy ? @Jake Montgomery, It is about *security*. I have some keys and I want to delete the content of key, when no longer required. Here my API is expecting a string key.
