A generator can accept a value from the consumer. So, If I have a
counter:
c = counter()
I can send it a value:
c.send(9)
> if val is not None:
> count = val
The generato
Hi,
There is a great set of slides on this topic
available here: http://www.dabeaz.com/generators/
They explain this concept quite well and
walk you through everything you need to
know about generators and how powerful
they can be.
Please read it.
cheers

The behaviour you're seeing was introduced in PE
Hey,
This is an example of a generator function:
=
def counter(start_at=0):
count = start_at
while True:
val = (yield count)
if val is not None:
count = val
else:
count += 1
==
>>> count = counter(5)
>>> count.next()
5
>>> count.send(9
