Python: Check if a given function is a generator or not

Python module: Exercise-3 with Solution

Write a Python program to check if a given function is a generator or not. Use types.GeneratorType()

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import types
def a(x):
    yield x
        
def b(x):
    return x

def add(x, y):
    return x + y

print(isinstance(a(456), types.GeneratorType))
print(isinstance(b(823), types.GeneratorType))
print(isinstance(add(8,2), types.GeneratorType))

Sample Output:

True
False
False
