Are there built-in methods for iteration in generators in Python?

Answer from AI

In Python, generators are themselves iterators and support standard iteration methods such as __iter__() and __next__(). This means that you can iterate over a generator using built-in constructs, such as a for loop.

Example:

def my_generator():
    yield 1
    yield 2
    yield 3

for value in my_generator():
    print(value)

Here, my_generator() returns a generator that can be iterated directly without additional methods. Built-in functions next() and iter() also work with generators, allowing manual control of iteration.
