Generator
Generator behaves like Generator in python or ES6, with yield and next statements.
Generator function contains one or more yield statement.
Generator functions allow you to declare a function that behaves like an iterator, i.e. it can be used in a for loop.
Generator generators are a simple way of creating iterators. All the overhead we mentioned above are automatically handled by generators.
Simply speaking, a generator is a function that returns an object (iterator) which we can iterate over (one value at a time).
If desired, go to python or ES6 for more information.
Example
Golang Generators
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/searKing/golang/go/go/generator"
)
func main() {
g := func(i int) *generator.Generator {
return generator.GeneratorFunc(func(yield generator.Yield) {
yield(i)
yield(i + 10)
})
}
gen := g(10)
// WAY 1, by channel
for msg := range gen.C {
fmt.Println(msg)
}
// WAY 2, by Next
//for {
// msg, ok := gen.Next()
// if !ok {
// return
// }
// fmt.Println(msg)
//}
// Output:
// 10
// 20
}
Python Generators
# A simple generator function
def generator(i):
n = 1
# Generator function contains yield statements
yield i
yield i+10
# Using for loop
for item in generator(10):
print(item)
# Output:
# 10
# 20
JavaScript Generators
function* generator(i) {
yield i;
yield i + 10;
}
const gen = generator(10);
console.log(gen.next().value);
// expected output: 10
console.log(gen.next().value);
// expected output: 20

}
Generator behaves like Generator in python or ES6 Generator function contains one or more yield statement. Generator functions allow you to declare a function that behaves like an iterator, i.e. it can be used in a for loop. see https://wiki.python.org/moin/Generators see https://www.programiz.com/python-programming/generator see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/function*
func GeneratorFunc ¶
GeneratorFunc returns an object (iterator) which we can iterate over (one value at a time). It returns a Generator that can be used to cancel the call using its Stop method. Iterate will be stopped when f is return or Stop is called.
func GeneratorFuncWithSupplier ¶
func GeneratorFuncWithSupplier(supplierC <-chan interface{}, f func(msg interface{})) *Generator
GeneratorFuncWithSupplier waits for the supplierC to supply and then calls f in its own goroutine every time. It returns a Generator that can be used to cancel the call using its Stop method. Consume will be stopped when supplierC is closed.
func GeneratorWithSupplier ¶
func GeneratorWithSupplier(supplierC <-chan interface{}) *Generator
GeneratorWithSupplier is like GeneratorFunc. But it's data src is from supplierC. Iterate will be stopped when supplierC is closed or Stop is called.
func (*Generator) Next ¶
Next behaves like an iterator, i.e. it can be used in a for loop. It's a grammar sugar for chan
func (*Generator) Stop ¶
Stop prevents the Generator from firing, with the channel drained. Stop ensures the channel is empty after a call to Stop. It returns true if the call stops the generator, false if the generator has already expired or been stopped. Stop does not close the channel, to prevent a read from the channel succeeding incorrectly.
This cannot be done concurrent to other receives from the Generator's channel.
For a generator created with GeneratorFuncWithSupplier(supplierC, f), if t.Stop returns false, then the generator has already expired and the function f has been started in its own goroutine; Stop does not wait for f to complete before returning. If the caller needs to know whether f is completed, it must coordinate with f explicitly.
func (*Generator) Yield ¶
Yield is a grammar sugar for data src of generator ok returns true if msg sent; false if consume canceled If a function contains at least one yield statement (it may contain other yield or return statements), it becomes a generator function. Both yield and return will return some value from a function. The difference is that, while a return statement terminates a function entirely, yield statement pauses the function saving all its states and later continues from there on successive calls.
