In what variable is the output of print() stored?

consider the code: x=8 print(x+10) obviously, we get a result 18. Since i haven't assigned it to anything, Where is this integer 18 stored?

Stored in this file: sys.stdout To access do: import sys to write stuff to it, sys.stdout.write("Str") #same as print("Str")

Pretty sure it'd be stored in memory. Because print() does the calculations and stuff.

@Pegasus True, it is stored in sys.stdout. Also, you can just use the file argument of the print builtin to print to the 3 system file streams: import sys print("stderr!", file=sys.stderr)

I know it's stored in memory! I want to know where is it stored. Is there a way I can access it later?
