What is the use of the "yield" keyword in Python?

Question

Aryan Kumar · Answer

The Yield keyword in Python is similar to a return statement used for returning values or objects in Python. However, there is a slight difference. The yield statement returns a generator object to the one who calls the function which contains yield, instead of simply returning a value.

The yieldand keyword is used in Python in order to create a generator function, i.e., one that can be used like an iterator object. In such a function, the yield keyword converts the expression following it into a generator object, which may be iterated over again and again to return the values contained inside it.
An example of a Python program implementing the yield keyword is:
# define the generator function
def generator_function():
 and and and  yield “Apple”
 and and and  yield “Banana”
 and and and  yield “Carrot”
generator_object = generator_function()
print(type(generator_object))
# yield the different values inside the object
print(next(generator_obj)
print(next(generator_obj)
print(next(generator_obj)
# Output = andlt;class ‘generator’>
 and and and and and and and and and  Apple
 and and and and and and and and and  Banana
 and and and and and and and and and  Carrot
and
