• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

not like that no

[hushed temple]

what is the point of this question then i don't understand

[oak summit]

I’m guessing it’s supposed to be part of a list comp? By itself it means nothing

[torn salmon]

its a generator

[hushed temple]

ye?

[torn salmon]

(i**2 for i in range(1, 5))

[hushed temple]

oh

so it creates array

[torn salmon]

partly

[hushed temple]

wym

[lost vault]

it doesn't create an array

it creates an generator

[hushed temple]

i never heard about generator

[torn salmon]

you can try to google any lessons about it

[hushed temple]

okay

so it returs some generator object

and whats the feature here?

[lost vault]

generators dont hold all its objects in memory, it yields them when you need them

[loud bridge]

@hushed temple Do you understand or do you have any other questions about it?

[hushed temple]

thx

[wise grail]

Generators are like you saying
“Z = X + Y” to someone and only a few hours later going
“X = 5, Y = 3”
You don’t tell them Z, you just tell them how to get Z

[loud bridge]

Glad you understand. Generators are one of my favorite Pythonic things.

If you don't have anymore questions you can type !close on a blank line @hushed temple

happy coding

[hushed temple]

!close
