  Python has both generator functions and generator expressions. A generator function is like this: def int_generator(): i = 0 while True: yield i i += 1 A generator expression looks like a list comprehension (a Python construct based on the set-builder notation in Math) and is used in situations where you don't really need to materialize the list - for example when you are just iterating over it in a `for` loop: for n, square in ((i, i * i) for i in int_generator()): print(f"{n}² = {square}") time.sleep(1)
