From Pharo By Example: Symbols are like Strings, in that they contain a sequence of characters. However, unlike a string, a literal symbol is guaranteed to be globally unique. There is only one Symbol object #Hello but there *may be* multiple String objects with the value 'Hello'.
According to the above: Strings -> 1+ per value Symbols -> always one per value Where did you get that Strings are guaranteed not to be 1 per value?
