Python Coding challenge - Day 611| What is the output of the following Python Code?

 Code Explanation:

1. Function Definition

def early_exit():

This line defines a function called early_exit.

It's a generator function because it will use the yield keyword inside.

2. Start of the Loop

    for i in range(10):

This is a for loop that iterates over numbers from 0 to 9 (i.e., range(10)).

i takes on each value in the range one at a time.

3. Early Exit Condition

        if i > 3:

            return

This if statement checks if i is greater than 3.

If true, it calls return, which exits the function entirely (not just the loop).

Since it's a generator function, this also means no more values will be yielded.

4. Yield Statement

        yield i

This line is executed only if i <= 3.

It yields the value of i to the caller.

This is what makes the function a generator — it returns values one at a time and remembers its state between calls.

5. Calling the Generator and Converting to List

print(list(early_exit()))

This calls the early_exit() generator and wraps it with list(), which:

Iterates through all values the generator yields.

Collects them into a list.

The output will be printed.

Final Output

[0, 1, 2, 3]
