About the episode

We’re diving into the powerful concept of generators. While Go doesn’t have native support for generators like Python, we can still create a similar pattern using channels and goroutines. Intrigued? Let’s get started!

What is a Generator?

In many programming languages, a generator is a special type of function that allows you to iterate over a sequence of values, one at a time, without storing them all in memory. It’s like a function that ‘yields’ values as needed, making it a great tool for managing memory when dealing with large datasets.

In Go, we don’t have the yield keyword, but we can achieve similar functionality using channels and goroutines. We’ll implement a prime number generator that leverages these powerful Go features. Here’s what we’ll cover how to build a prime number generator.

By the end of this video, you’ll see how Go’s concurrency model can be used to emulate generator-like behavior.

💡 **What You'll Learn:**

- The concept of generators and how they manage memory efficiently.
- How to implement a generator in both Python and Go.
- Leveraging Go’s channels and goroutines to simulate generator behavior.
