Generators vs Arrays

Developers should learn generators when working with large datasets, streaming data, or infinite sequences where loading all data into memory at once is impractical or impossible meets developers should learn arrays because they are ubiquitous in programming for tasks like storing sequences of data, implementing algorithms (e.

Nice Pick

Developers should learn generators when working with large datasets, streaming data, or infinite sequences where loading all data into memory at once is impractical or impossible

  • +Related to: python-generators, javascript-generators

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Generators if: You want they are particularly useful for implementing custom iterators, handling asynchronous operations (e and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Arrays if: You prioritize g over what Generators offers.

The Bottom Line
Generators wins

Developers should learn generators when working with large datasets, streaming data, or infinite sequences where loading all data into memory at once is impractical or impossible
