Hello,
I found that the PHP manual states that executing range(0, 1000000) uses more than 100MB of memory (link to the documentation). However, when I tested it, the actual memory usage was around 18MB, which is significantly lower than the documented value.
Here is the test script I used:
Given this discrepancy, I suggest updating the documentation to reflect a more accurate memory usage estimate (e.g., 10MB instead of 100MB).
Please let me know if further testing or clarification is needed.
Thank you!
