Python Coding challenge - Day 366| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 

Step-by-Step Execution

Step 1: Define my_generator()

def my_generator():

    value = yield

    print(f"Received: {value}")

This is a generator function because it contains the yield statement.

Unlike a normal function, calling it does not execute the function immediately.

Instead, it returns a generator object that can be used to iterate lazily.

Step 2: Create a Generator Object

gen = my_generator()

This does not execute the function yet.

It simply creates a generator object.

Step 3: Start the Generator

next(gen)

The next(gen) advances execution to the first yield statement.

Inside my_generator(), execution starts at the beginning:

value = yield

yield pauses execution and waits for a value to be sent.

Since yield is on the right-hand side of value =, it waits for a value from gen.send(...).

At this point, execution is paused, and my_generator() is waiting for input.

Step 4: Send a Value into the Generator

gen.send(10)

gen.send(10) resumes execution at the yield statement.

The yield expression returns 10, which gets assigned to value.

value = 10  # Received from gen.send(10)

Execution continues past the yield statement, so the next line runs:

print(f"Received: {value}")  # Output: "Received: 10"

Since there is no more yield statement, the function ends, and the generator is exhausted.

Final Output

Received: 10
