#### 💡 Explanation: #### 💡 Explanation:
`'inf'` and `'nan'` are special strings (case-insensitive), which when explicitly typecasted to `float` type, are used to represent mathematical "infinity" and "not a number" respectively. `'inf'` and `'nan'` are special strings (case-insensitive), which when explicitly typecast-ed to `float` type, are used to represent mathematical "infinity" and "not a number" respectively.

**💡 Explanation:** **💡 Explanation:**
This prank comes from [Raymond Hettinger's tweet](https://twitter.com/raymondh/status/1131103570856632321?lang=en). The space invader operator is actually just a malformatted `a -= (-1)`. Which is eqivalent to `a = a - (- 1)`. Similar for the `a += (+ 1)` case. This prank comes from [Raymond Hettinger's tweet](https://twitter.com/raymondh/status/1131103570856632321?lang=en).

* Python uses 2 bytes for local variable storage in functions. In theory, this means that only 65536 variables can be defined in a function. However, python has a handy solution built in that can be used to store more than 2^16 variable names. The following code demonstrates what happens in the stack when more than 65536 local variables are defined (Warning: This code prints around 2^18 lines of text, so be prepared!): * Python uses 2 bytes for local variable storage in functions.
