JavaScript ES6 - Iterators and Generators

This video talks about ES6 generator functions, generators, the iterator protocol and flow control!

You clarify it a lot but still it seems like so complicated, and i can't seem to get what scenario these things can apply to. I gotta keep do more research on the Iterator, iterable and generator!

Thanks, great example of embeded generator - makes things clearer for that one.

[Bradelff]

simple and especially clear!! a really good first example!!!

[Ultriix]

yay finally an example thats understandable! must have seen a dozen examples where people wanna be clever and end up with something they barely understand themselves. I suppose the trick is remembering where they will help code the most.

nice video, just a thought intead of doing copy paste five times you can select the entire line and hit ::: Command + Shift + d

Your while loop/do while loop example was a bit off. Since using gen.next() in the loop condition brings you to the next iteration, the next value once you reach the loop body is undefined.

Generators are awesome. I think they are borrowed from python. I recently used one to getNextPrimeNumber() where I didn't know the biggest prime number that would be needed.

but where i have to use it? no real-life examples :(

[rayapudinayudu]

yield returns an iterator, not a generator please check it

Not sure how to feel about this concept. From a purely functional standpoint it feels kind of... icky.

Good video but just breezes over things too quickly.
