Generators in Python

Generators

• Generators are a special type of iterator that yield items one at a time, allowing for lazy evaluation. This is particularly useful for large datasets, as it does not load the entire dataset into memory.
• Example:

def count_up_to(max):
    count = 1
    while count <= max:
        yield count
        count += 1

for number in count_up_to(5):
    print(number)  # Output: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
