Tobias Pankrath:
Does this spawn linear many generators?
I have written this little test code, Python2.6+: count = 0 def A006068(): global count count += 1 yield 0 for x in A006068(): if x & 1: yield 2 * x + 1 yield 2 * x else: if x: yield 2 * x yield 2 * x + 1 from itertools import islice def main(): global count for p in xrange(15): n = 2 ** p count = 0 print sum(1 for _ in islice(A006068(), 0, n)), count main() The output seems to show that it spawns only logarithmically: 1 1 2 2 4 3 8 4 16 5 32 6 64 7 128 8 256 9 512 10 1024 11 2048 12 4096 13 8192 14 16384 15 Bye, bearophile
