#### 💡 Explanation:
+ `+=` is faster than `+` for concatenating more than two strings because the first string (example, `s1` for `s1 += s2 + s3`) is not destroyed while calculating the complete string.
+ Both the strings refer to the same object because of CPython optimization hat tries to use existing immutable objects in some cases (implementation specific) rather than creating a new object every time. You can read more about this [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24245324/about-the-changing-id-of-an-immutable-string)
