6. Iterators and Generators

In Python, iterators and generators are key concepts that enable efficient and memory-friendly data processing. While iterators follow a specific protocol for accessing data sequentially, generators simplify iteration by producing values on demand with the yield keyword. This section explores these concepts and their practical applications, helping you master memory-efficient programming.

Assert Methods

The assert methods are part of the unittest.TestCase class and are used to check conditions in your tests. Simply put, each test method in the Test class concludes with a statement such as self.assert.

Commonly Used assert Methods

Method	Check	Example
assertEqual(a, b)	a == b	assertEqual(sum([1, 2, 3]), 6)
assertNotEqual(a, b)	a != b	assertNotEqual(1, 2)
assertTrue(x)	bool(x) is True	assertTrue(isinstance(123, int))
assertFalse(x)	bool(x) is False	assertFalse(isinstance("hello", int))
assertIs(a, b)	a is b	a = 1, b = a
assertIsNone(x)	x is None	book.price = None
assertIn(a, b)	a in b	assertIn(2, [1, 2, 3])
assertIsInstance(a, b)	isinstance(a, b)	assertIsInstance(123, int)

Also, assertRaises(Error, func, *args, **kwargs) is used to test that an error is raised. For example:

This checks that converting "xyz" to integer raises ValueError.
