What are the differences between generators and iterators?

Can you explain the differences between generators and iterators in Python?

Sure! Both generators and iterators are used to iterate over data, but they have some key differences.

What makes generators more memory efficient than iterators?

Generators yield items one at a time and only when requested, which saves memory compared to iterators that store all items.

Can you give me an example of a generator?

Absolutely! Here's a simple generator function:

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

How do I convert an iterator to a generator?

You can convert an iterator to a generator by using the yield keyword in a function that calls the iterator's next() method.
