Introduction to

Generators
Generators are a powerful feature in programming that allow you to
create iterators, sequences, and data flows in an efficient and
memory-friendly way. They provide a way to generate values on-the-
fly, rather than storing them all in memory at once.
Generating Sequences
1 Generating Sequences
Generators can be used to create sequences of values, such as numbers,
letters, or custom objects.

2 Infinite Sequences
Generators can generate infinite sequences, which is useful for tasks like
creating random numbers or simulating real-time data.

3 Lazy Evaluation
Generators use lazy evaluation, meaning they only generate values when
they are needed, saving memory and resources.

Conclusion
Generators are a powerful feature that allow you to create efficient,
memory-friendly, and scalable code. By understanding how to use
generators effectively, you can build better, more performant
applications that can handle large and complex data sets with ease.
