"user" defined iterator python code example

Example 1: iterator in python

# define a list
my_list = [4, 7, 0, 3]

# get an iterator using iter()
my_iter = iter(my_list)

# iterate through it using next()

# Output: 4
print(next(my_iter))

# Output: 7
print(next(my_iter))

# next(obj) is same as obj.__next__()

# Output: 0
print(my_iter.__next__())

# Output: 3
print(my_iter.__next__())

# This will raise error, no items left
next(my_iter)

Example 2: what is iterator in python

An iterator is an object that can be iterated upon, meaning that you can traverse through all the values.
#EXAMPLE OF ITERATOR
nums=[2,3,4,5,6,7]
it=iter(nums)
print(it.__next__())
for i in it:
  print(i)
