How do generators work in Python?

Can you explain how generators work in Python?

Sure! Generators in Python are a way to create iterators using a function that yields values instead of returning them.

What does 'yield' do in a generator?

The 'yield' statement allows the function to return a value and pause its execution, resuming later from where it left off.

How are generators different from regular functions?

Unlike regular functions that return a single value, generators can yield multiple values over time, making them more memory efficient.

Can you give me an example of a simple generator?

Of course! Here's a simple generator that yields numbers from 1 to 5:

def count_up_to(n):
    count = 1
    while count <= n:
        yield count
        count += 1
