In the world of Python, generators are like the secret sauce that can make your code not only more readable but also significantly more efficient. Imagine you’re dealing with a massive dataset: reading it all into memory at once can be a balancing act of performance and resource usage.

What if I told you there's a way to handle this data without that heavy lifting? Enter generators.
