What are some examples of generators in JavaScript?

Can you explain what generators are in JavaScript?

Sure! Generators are special functions that can be paused and resumed, allowing you to control the flow of execution.

How do I create a generator function?

You create a generator function using the function* syntax. Inside, you use the yield keyword to yield values.

Can you give me an example of a generator function?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

function* countUpTo(max) {
  let count = 1;
  while (count <= max) {
    yield count;
    count++;
  }
}

This generator will yield numbers from 1 to the specified max.

How do I use the values yielded by the generator?

You can use a for...of loop to iterate over the values, like this:

for (let number of countUpTo(5)) {
  console.log(number);
}

This will log numbers 1 through 5.
