When you have a space in a line of code does that take up any memory?

Question

I've heard that the computer just ignores spaces in code, for example in math problems in code. My question is if I wanted to make my code file as compact as possible, would going back and deleting the spaces between 1 + 1 help?

Answer 1

Would be a fun test:

Make a code in two versions, import both and compare their performance with a tool like time.timeit.
