How to Create Generator Functions with yield in Python
Create a memory-efficient generator function using yield to produce a Fibonacci sequence up to a limit.
def fibonacci_sequence(limit):
"""Generate Fibonacci numbers up to a given limit."""
a, b = 0, 1
while a <= limit:
yield a
a, b = b, a + b
if __name__ == "__main__":
fib_gen = fibonacci_sequence(100)
for number in fib_gen:
print(number, end=" ")
print()Generator Function to Yield an Infinite Counter in Python
This code demonstrates a generator function that yields an infinite sequence of integers starting from a given value, allowing lazy, memory-efficient iteration.
def infinite_counter(start=0):
count = start
while True:
yield count
count += 1
if __name__ == "__main__":
counter = infinite_counter(5)
for _ in range(5):
print(next(counter))How to Create a Pairwise Generator with zip and tee in Python
Build a memory-efficient generator that yields successive overlapping pairs from any iterable using zip and tee.
from itertools import tee
def pairwise(iterable):
"""Yield successive overlapping pairs from iterable."""
a, b = tee(iterable)
next(b, None)
return zip(a, b)
if __name__ == "__main__":
values = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(list(pairwise(values)))
print(list(pairwise("hello")))How to Create an Infinite Arithmetic Sequence Generator in Python
Build a memory-efficient generator that yields an infinite arithmetic progression and extract the first N values with list comprehension.
"""Count generator infinite arithmetic progression"""
def arithmetic_counter(start=0, step=1):
"""Generate an infinite arithmetic sequence."""
current = start
while True:
yield current
current += step
if __name__ == "__main__":
counter = arithmetic_counter(1, 3)
result = [next(c…How to Generate Fibonacci Numbers in Python Without Recursion
Build an efficient infinite Fibonacci sequence using a generator function with O(1) memory and no recursion overhead.
def fib(n):
a, b = 0, 1
for _ in range(n):
yield a
a, b = b, a + b
if __name__ == "__main__":
count = 10
result = list(fib(count))
print(result)Sum of Squares with a Generator Expression in Python
This code computes the sum of squares of integers from 1 to n using a generator expression, demonstrating a memory-efficient and concise way to aggregate a sequence.
def sum_of_squares(n):
return sum(x * x for x in range(1, n + 1))
if __name__ == "__main__":
print(f"Sum of squares from 1 to 5: {sum_of_squares(5)}")
print(f"Sum of squares from 1 to 10: {sum_of_squares(10)}")How to Use Array Typecodes for Compact Numeric Storage in Python
This code demonstrates how to use the `array` module with typecodes to store integers, floats, and bytes in a memory-efficient way compared to standard Python lists.
from array import array
def demonstrate_array_types():
# Compact integer arrays
small_ints = array('i', [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
unsigned_ints = array('I', [10, 20, 30])
# Floating point arrays
floats = array('f', [1.5, 2.5, 3.5])
doubles = array('d', [1.123456789, 2.987654321])
