Generators in Python

Hi guys, i'm back! So today we will discuss about generators, which are functions that yield values. The yield keyword is like return, but it doesn't end the function. Here's an example:

def <function_name>(<args>):
    # ...
    yield <something>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

replacing the placeholders:

def sq(x):
    for i in range(1, x+1):
        yield i ** 2
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

To call the iterator methods, do this:

for <something> in <method_name>(<args>):
    <code>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And here is a full example:

def sq(x):
    for i in range(1, x+1):
        yield i ** 2

for i in sq(10):
    print(i)

"""
1
4
9
16
25
36
49
64
81
100
"""
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

With that, Goodbye guys! Have a nice day!

I corrected the mistake, i meant generators, not iteratiors!
