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.

generator yield fibonacci
Python 
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()
