Answer 1

#start define function make_word
def make_word():

#init variable word to hold an empty string
   word = ""
#do for loop, in each iterate take next character of the word "spam", first iterate ch=s, second ch=p, third ch=a, and last ch=m

   for ch  in "spam":
#add ch to string word. so in first iterate word=s, then word=sp, word=spa, word = spam
       word +=ch

#in each iterate return the current word string
# that is the generator uniqe part

       yield word

################### end of function ####

# now we call to the function that is genarator, and all his return put in list and print the list

print(list(make_word()))

Output:

s, sp, spa, spam

Answer 2

thank you so much

Answer 3

if I understand correctly, ch is just a variable used on the fly basically, defined by its context in the For statement

Answer 4

ch (chain) in 'spam'

Answer 5

the 'ch' must be defined in somewhere?

Answer 6

What is the result of this code?
def make_word():
word = ""
for ch in "spam":
word +=ch
yield word

What is the result of this code?
def make_word():
word = ""
for ch in "spam":
word +=ch
yield word

print(list(make_word()))

out put ['s', 'sp', 'spa', 'spam']

print(list(make_word()))

Answer 7

out put ['s', 'sp', 'spa', 'spam']

Answer 8

# now we call to the function that is genarator, and all his return put in list and print the list

print(list(make_word()))

Output:

s, sp, spa, spam

Answer 9

Thank you for your thorough explanation. Could someone explain the ch variable please? I think I understand ch now - it is like i representing a character within the word = "" string. Hence it just selects one character from the word string at a time.

Answer 10

def make_word():
word = ""
for ch in "spam":
word +=ch
yield word
print(list(make_word()))

out:
['s', 'sp', 'spa', 'spam']
