What is a generator runtime?

A generator runtime refers to the environment or context in which a generator function operates. In programming, particularly in languages like Python, a generator function uses the yield keyWord to produce a series of values lazily, meaning it generates each value on-the-fly as needed rather than all at once. The generator runtime manages the state of the function between calls, allowing it to resume execution and maintain its local variables. This efficient use of memory and processing makes generators particularly useful for handling large datasets or streams of data.
