Iterators vs Iterables

Explore the distinctions between iterators and iterables in Python. Understand how the iter function works with both, why iterables can create new iterators, and why iterators are single-use. This lesson helps you grasp essential concepts for effective iteration and looping in Python programming.

Iterators also support iter

The previous description of for loops leaves us with a potential problem. The map function returns an iterator, but we need an iterable to use in the case of a for loop. We can loop over a ...
