Using continue with yield
General Discussion • generators yield • posted

Just think of using print instead of yield. Anything that gets printed would be yielded. If you wanted to skip printing an item you would use

if some_condition: print item

or alternatively

if some_skip_condition: continue print item

now replace print with yield and you have a generator. I don't think there are any restrictions on the type of control structures you use in a generator, only that your logic must be correct in the first place. If you had tried something like that and it didn't work, it wouldn't have worked if you used print instead of yield!
