🐍 Python Tip of the Day: Decorators — Enhance Function Behavior ✨

🧠 What is a Decorator in Python?
A decorator lets you wrap extra logic before or after a function runs, without modifying its original code.

🔥 A Simple Example

Imagine you have a basic greeting function:

def say_hello():
    print("Hello!")

You want to log a message before and after it runs, but you don’t want to touch say_hello() itself. Here’s where a decorator comes in:

def my_decorator(func):
    def wrapper():
        print("Calling the function...")
        func()
        print("Function has been called.")
    return wrapper

Now “decorate” your function:

@my_decorator
def say_hello():
    print("Hello!")

When you call it:

say_hello()

Output:

Calling the function...
Hello!
Function has been called.

💡 Quick Tip:
The @my_decorator syntax is just syntactic sugar for:
s

ay_hello = my_decorator(say_hello)

🚀 Why Use Decorators?
- 🔄 Reuse common “before/after” logic
- 🔒 Keep your original functions clean
- 🔧 Easily add logging, authentication, timing, and more

🧠 What is a Generator in Python?
A generator is a special type of iterator that produces values lazily—one at a time, and only when needed—without storing them all in memory.

---

❓ How do you create a generator?
✅ Correct answer:
Option 1: Use the yield keyword inside a function.

🔥 Simple example:

def countdown(n):
    while n > 0:
        yield n
        n -= 1

When you call this function:

gen = countdown(3)
print(next(gen))  # 3
print(next(gen))  # 2
print(next(gen))  # 1

Each time you call next(), the function resumes from where it left off, runs until it hits yield, returns a value, and pauses again.

---

⛔ Why are the other options incorrect?

- Option 2 (class with __iter__ and __next__):
It works, but it’s more complex. Using yield is simpler and more Pythonic.

- Options 3 & 4 (for or while loops):
Loops are not generators themselves. They just iterate over iterables.

---

💡 Pro Tip:
Generators are perfect when working with large or infinite datasets. They’re memory-efficient, fast, and clean to write.
