Q23 What is Generator Function in JavaScript

A generator function in JavaScript allows functions to pause and resume execution, making them useful for lazy evaluation and asynchronous programming. An example is provided with a simple number generator that yields values sequentially. Additionally, an infinite ticket generator demonstrates how to create an ongoing sequence of values.

Q. What is generator function in JavaScript?

A generator function is a powerful feature in JavaScript that allows functions to


pause and resume execution, making them useful for lazy evaluation, iterating
over sequences, or asynchronous programming when used with async/await.
Example:

function* numberGenerator() {
yield 1;
yield 2;
yield 3;
}

const gen = numberGenerator();

console.log(gen.next()); // { value: 1, done: false }


console.log(gen.next()); // { value: 2, done: false }
console.log(gen.next()); // { value: 3, done: false }
console.log(gen.next()); // { value: undefined, done: true }

Realtime Example:
Infinite ticket generator

function* infiniteCounter() {
let i = 1;
while (true) {
yield `Ticket-${i++}`;
}
}

const counter = infiniteCounter();


console.log(counter.next().value); // Ticket -1
console.log(counter.next().value); // Ticket -2
