What are some advanced functions in the more-itertools library?

The more-itertools library extends the built-in itertools module with additional functions. Some advanced functions include 'chunked', 'grouper', and 'collate'. Would you like to know how to use any specific function?

Can you explain how the 'chunked' function works?

Sure! The 'chunked' function splits an iterable into chunks of a specified size. For example, if you have a list of numbers and you want to split it into chunks of 3, it will return an iterator that yields lists of 3 elements each.

Can you give me a code example of using 'chunked'?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

from more_itertools import chunked

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
for chunk in chunked(numbers, 3):
    print(chunk)

This will output:

[1, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 6]
[7, 8, 9]

Would you like to explore more functions?

Yes, what about the 'grouper' function?

The 'grouper' function is similar to 'chunked', but it allows you to specify a fill value for incomplete groups. It groups elements into tuples of a specified size, filling in with the fill value if necessary.
