Python: Generate an infinite cycle of elements from an iterable
Python Itertools: Exercise-5 with Solution
Write a Python program to generate an infinite cycle of elements from an iterable.
Note: Iterable should be a list or a string or a dictionary, etc.
Sample Solution:
Python Code:
import itertools as it
def cycle_data(iter):
return it.cycle(iter)
# Following loops will run for ever
#List
result = cycle_data(['A','B','C','D'])
print("The said function print never-ending items:")
for i in result:
print(i)
#String
result = cycle_data('Python itertools')
print("The said function print never-ending items:")
for i in result:
print(i)
Sample Output:
The said function print never-ending items: A B C D A B C D A B C D A B C D A B ....
