Generators in Python

In Python, a generator is a special type of iterable, similar to lists or tuples, but with a key distinction: it doesn't store all of its values in memory at once. Instead, it generates values on the fly as you iterate over it. This makes generators memory-efficient, especially when dealing with large datasets or when generating an indefinite sequence of values.
