A smart iterator for inserting into a sorted container in.
In this, as in many other ways, Ruby is a transparent language. When you write a Ruby program, you concentrate on getting the job done, not on building scaffolding to support the language itself. Iterators are not limited to accessing existing data in arrays and hashes. As we saw in the Fibonacci example, an iterator can return derived values.
Iterator categories are hierarchical. Forward iterators can be used wherever input or output iterators are required, bidirectional iterators can be used in place of forward iterators, and random access iterators can be used in situations requiring bidirectionality. A second characteristic of iterators is whether or not they can be used to modify the values held by their associated container.

On more abstract terms, iterators provide a common interface that allows you to process every element of a container while being completely isolated from the container’s internal structure. Whether you’re dealing with a list of elements, a dictionary, an infinite sequence like the one provided by our Repeater class, or another sequence type—all of that is just an implementation detail.
When you’re working with containers, it is often useful to insert new elements at the beginning, end, or somewhere in the middle.
Python 101: iterators, generators, coroutines. Posted on 2019-12-28 by Mark McDonnell 12 mins read In this post I’m going to be talking about what a generator is and how it compares to a coroutine, but to understand these two concepts (generators and coroutines) we’ll need to take a step back and understand the underlying concept of an Iterator. We ultimately we’ll be discussing.
Loops, iterators and generators. Loops are one of the most common programming constructs. In Python though, there are a series of subtle loop behaviors that are essential to grasp in order to understand some of Python's more advanced features. First let's start by exploring the typical for loop syntax applied to a Python string, list and.
