python yield里面的next及send方法

def counter(start_at=0):

count = start_at

while True:

val = (yield count)

if val is not None:

count = val

else:

count += 1

print (val)

 

count = counter(5)

for i in range(10):

print (count.__next__())

在学习python核心编程2时遇到yield始终不能理解val为何输出为None， 通过输出执行细节，如下：

ly@ly:~/python/CORE/core2$ python -m trace --trace p307.py

我才明白，当程序执行到val = （yield count）时，yield返回count的值，在程序里也就是5，此时程序停止执行，并保存当前的工作状态，当在次执行时还是从val = （yield count）开始执行，但是yield count 是不返回值的，或者说不执行yield count，所以赋值语句右边为None， val也就为None，if语句之后直接执行count += 1， 这个生成器是不会停止的。

>>> count.send(9)
9
>>> count.next()
10

当我们执行count.send(9) 时，程序从val = （yield count） 开始执行，此时yield count返回9这个值（注意：此时yield并不会停止）， 并赋给val，执行count=val，所以count仍然为9，继续执行， 直到val=（yield count）输出为9，停止。
