Is it possible to explain the internal implementation of the replace method in string objects and how it replaces parts of text?

The replace method in Python strings creates a new string where all occurrences of a specified substring are replaced with another substring. Internally, strings in Python are immutable, so the method does not change the original string but returns a new one.

The approximate algorithm is as follows:

1. Find all occurrences of the substring to be replaced.
2. Create a new buffer for the result.
3. Copy parts of the original string and insert the replaced substrings into the new buffer.
4. Return the new string.

Example usage:

text = "Hello, world! The world is beautiful."
new_text = text.replace("world", "universe")
print(new_text)  # Outputs: Hello, universe! The universe is beautiful.

Note that replace is case-sensitive, so "world" and "World" are considered different.
