Flatten a Nested List in Python (Recursive Generator)
Recursively flatten arbitrarily nested lists into a single-level list using both a function and a generator with `yield from`.
def flatten(nested_list):
"""Recursively flatten a nested list into a single-level list."""
result = []
for item in nested_list:
if isinstance(item, list):
result.extend(flatten(item))
else:
result.append(item)
return result

…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))
