generator expression in python code example

Example 1: generator expressions python

>>> even_squares = (x * x for x in range(10)
                    if x % 2 == 0)

Example 2: python generator

# A generator-function is defined like a normal function, 
# but whenever it needs to generate a value, 
# it does so with the yield keyword rather than return. 
# If the body of a def contains yield, 
# the function automatically becomes a generator function.
# Python 3 example
def grepper_gen():
  yield "add"
  yield "grepper"
  yield "answer"
grepper = grepper_gen()
next(grepper)
> add
next(grepper)
> grepper
next(grepper)
> answer

Example 3: generator expressions python

>>> iterator = ('Hello' for i in range(3))
>>> for x in iterator:
...     print(x)
'Hello'
'Hello'
'Hello'

Example 4: generator expressions python

>>> genexpr = ('Hello' for i in range(3))
>>> list(genexpr)
['Hello', 'Hello', 'Hello']
