bookIntroduction to Generator Functions

Generator functions are a special type of function in Python that allow you to produce a sequence of values over time, instead of computing them all at once and returning them in a list. You define a generator function just like a normal function, but instead of using the return statement to send a value back, you use the yield keyword. When Python encounters yield, it pauses the function, saves its state, and sends the yielded value to the caller. The next time you ask for a value, the function resumes right where it left off. This technique is called lazy evaluation, because values are produced only when you need them, not in advance. This makes generator functions very memory efficient, especially when working with large or infinite sequences.
