Not only would that mean you couldn't produce any output until you have read all the data, but it would also make for a big process - probably inefficient, possibly doing ... | 2016-05-19 |
3156 | Splitting data reading code from data processing code - Ruby An iterator (a.k.a. generator in Python) is a function which returns its results as it calculates them, rather than building them up into a larger structure to return all at once when the function is completed. So where you have a big flow of incoming data, you can handle it as it arrives rather than ... | 2011-02-10 |
2979 | Ruby - yield; parallel routines When you call a function / method in your program, you expect it to run to completion before returning control to you, passing back a result. For example, you might call a method to read a series of objects and store them into an array ... and then you could take that array of objects and, iterating ... | 2010-10-01 |
