Show notes

This is the follow on to the episode first recorded regarding JavaScripts iterators and generators. Dan takes the lead and picks up from last time.

x = {[Symbol.iterator]() {let i = 0;return {next: () => ({done: i >= 10,value: i++})};}};
for (const v of x) console.log(v);
console.log([…x]);
console.log(…x);
function* g() {for (let i = 0; i < 10; ++i) yield i;}
