So how does one access a generator one element at a time? I thought next would do that so I tried: print(next(uneven_squares(10,1000))) print(next(uneven_squares(10,1000))) print(next(uneven_squares(10,1000))) But I got the same answer every time. I'm just trying to see where a generator is more beneficial in practice and exactly how one accesses one element at a time without building a list.
