Aprenda The Iterator Protocol | Understanding Iterators

Deslize para mostrar o menu

Understanding how Python handles iteration is essential for working with sequences, loops, and many built-in features. At the core of this functionality is the iterator protocol. The iterator protocol is a set of methods that allows objects to be iterated over, meaning you can use them in a for loop or with functions like list() and sum(). In Python, an object is considered iterable if it implements the __iter__ method, which should return an iterator. An iterator is an object that implements both the __iter__ and __next__ methods. The __next__ method returns the next item in the sequence, and raises a StopIteration exception when there are no more items.

class CountUpTo:
    def __init__(self, max):
        self.max = max
        self.current = 1

    def __iter__(self):
        return self

    def __next__(self):
        if self.current > self.max:
            raise StopIteration
        value = self.current
        self.current += 1
        return value

counter = CountUpTo(3)
for number in counter:
    print(number)

In this example, the CountUpTo class is a custom iterator. It keeps track of the current number and stops iteration when it reaches the maximum value. By defining both __iter__ and __next__, this class can be used in a for loop, which will automatically call __iter__ to get the iterator and then repeatedly call __next__ to retrieve each value.
