Python`s

definition also allows for some interesting and useful iterator functions to efficiently loop and speed up code execution. The itertools module has many built-in iterators. 
This module implements a number of iterator building blocks. 
Some useful iterators:

1. accumulate (iter, func) : — this iterator takes two arguments, an iterative target and a function to follow at each iteration of the value in the target . If no function is passed, append is the default. If the input iteration is empty, the output iteration will also be empty.

2. chain (iter1, iter2 ..) : — This function is used to output all values ​​for iterable purposes one by one mentioned in its arguments.

# Python code for demonstration works # accumulate () and chain ()   # import & quot; itertools & quot; for iterator operations import itertools   # import & quot; operator & quot; for operator operations import operator   # initializing list 1 li1 = [ 1 , 4 , 5 , 7 ]   # initializing list 2 li2 = [ 1 , 6 , 5 , 9 ]    # initialization list 3 li3 = [ 8 , 10 , 5 , 4 ]   # using accumulation () # prints a sequential sum of elements print ( "The sum after each iteration is:" , end = " ") print ( list (itertools.accumulate (li1)))     # using accumulation () # prints sequential multiplication of elements print ( " The product after each iteration is: " , end = " ") print ( list (itertools.accumulate (li1, operator.mul)))   # using chain () to print all list items print ( "All values ​​in the mentioned chain are:" , end = "") prin t ( list (itertools.chain (li1, li2, li3) ))

Output:

 The sum after each iteration is: [1, 5, 10, 17] The product after each iteration is: [1, 4, 20, 140] All values ​​in the mentioned chain are: [1, 4, 5, 7, 1, 6 , 5, 9, 8, 10, 5, 4] 

3. chain.from_iterable () : — this function is implemented similarly to chain (), but the argument here is a list of lists or any other iterable .

4. compress (iter, selector) : — this iterator selectively selects the values ​​to print from the given container according to the boolean list value passed as another argument. Arguments matching the boolean true are printed, otherwise all are skipped.

# Python code to demonstrate how it works # chain.from_iterable () and compress ()   # import & quot; itertools & quot; for iterator operations import itertools   # initializing list 1 li1 = [ 1 , 4 , 5 , 7 ]   # initializing list 2 li2 = [ 1 , 6 , 5 , 9 ]    # initialization list 3 li3 = [ 8 , 10 , 5 , 4 ]   # list initialization li4 = [li1, li2, li3]   # using chain.from_iterable () to print all list items print ( "All values ​​in the mentioned chain are:" , end = " ") print ( list (itertools.chain.from_iterable (li4)))   # Selectively print data values ​​using compress () print ( " The compressed values ​​in string are: " , end = "") print ( list (itertools.compress ( `GEEKSFORGEEKS` , [ 1 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 0 , 0 , 1 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 ])))

Output:

 All values ​​in mentioned chain are: [1, 4, 5 , 7, 1, 6, 5, 9, 8, 10, 5, 4] The compressed values ​​in string are: [`G`,` F`, `G`] 

5 … dropwise (func, seq) : — This iterator starts printing only characters after the function. in argument returns false the first time.

6. filterfalse (func, seq) : — As the name suggests, this iterator only prints values ​​that return false for the passed function.

Output:

 The values ​​after condition returns false: [5, 7, 8] The values ​​that return false to function are: [5 , 7]
