Iterators That Terminate
Understand how to use finite iterators from Python's itertools module such as accumulate, chain, and compress. Learn to process and manipulate data effectively by converting iterators to lists and applying functional techniques to common programming tasks.
We'll cover the following...

Most of the iterators that we create with itertools are not infinite.
In this lesson, we will be studying the finite iterators of itertools.
To get output that is readable, we will be using Python’s built-in
list type. If we do not use list, then we will only get an
itertools object printed out.
Following are the finite iterators of itertools we are going to discuss:
- accumulate(iterable)
- chain(*iterables)
- chain.from_iterable(iterable)
- compress(data, selectors)
- dropwhile(predicate, iterable)
- filterfalse(predicate, iterable)
