Generator Expressions
Generator expressions offer a concise way to create iterators in Python. They are similar in syntax to list comprehensions, but instead of producing a full list in memory, a generator expression yields items one at a time as you iterate over it. This makes generator expressions much more memory efficient, especially for large datasets or infinite sequences, because values are generated only when needed. The syntax for a generator expression uses parentheses instead of the square brackets used in a list comprehension. For example, while a list comprehension might look like [x * x for x in range(10)], the equivalent generator expression would be (x * x for x in range(10)). This small change in syntax has significant implications for how Python processes the expression and manages memory.
12345# Generator expression to produce cubes of numbers from 0 to 9 cubes = (x ** 3 for x in range(10)) for cube in cubes: print(cube)
