How to Create an Iterator Class with Dunder Methods in Python

A minimal Counter class implementing __iter__ and __next__ to act as a self-iterating iterator, yielding numbers from start to end-1.

class Counter:
    def __init__(self, start=0, end=5):
        self.current = start
        self.end = end

How to Implement Iterator Protocol on a Custom Class in Python

Create a custom iterable class by defining the __iter__ and __next__ methods, enabling use in for loops and list conversions.

class Countdown:
    """Iterator that counts down from start to 0."""

    def __init__(self, start):
