Okay, so I need to figure out how to create a generator in Python. I remember that generators are a way to create iterators, but they’re different from regular functions because they use the yield statement instead of return. But I’m a bit fuzzy on the exact syntax and how they work step by step. Let me try to recall.
First, generators are defined like normal functions but use yield to produce a value. When the generator’s next() is called, it runs until it hits a yield, then pauses, keeping the state until next() is called again. That makes them memory efficient because they generate items on the fly instead of storing everything in memory at once. For example, if I have a large dataset, using a generator can help process it without loading it all into RAM.
Let me think of a simple example. Maybe a generator that yields numbers from 0 up to a certain limit. So, like a countup generator. Let’s say I want a generator that gives me numbers starting from 0 and each time I call next(), it gives the next number. But how do I structure that?
