Can generator be used more than once?

Question

This is my piece of code with two generators defined:

one_line_gen = (x for x in range(3))

def three_line_gen():
    yield 0
    yield 1
    yield 2
         


        

Answer 1

Yes, generator can be used only once. but you have two generator object.

# Python 3


def three_line_gen():
    yield 0
    yield 1
    yield 2

iterator = three_line_gen()
print(iterator)
for x in iterator:
    print(id(iterator), x)

iterator2 = three_line_gen()
print(iterator2)
for x in iterator2:
    print(id(iterator2), x)

And the result is:

4328784304 0
4328784304 1
4328784304 2

4328784376 0
4328784376 1
4328784376 2
