Hi there,

is the concept of generators (like in Python, using yield) available in D? If so, where can I find information?

Regards

Generally speaking, things that are generators in Python are implemented as ranges [1] in D. If ranges aren't a good fit for your problem, though, you can also use opApply [2] and std.concurrency.Generator [3].

Thank you both! I'll look into it
