+# Generators help you make lazy code
+def double_numbers(iterable):
+    for i in iterable:
+        yield i + i
+
+# generator creates the value on the fly
+# instead of generating and returning all values at once it creates one in each iteration
+# this means values bigger than 15 wont be processed in double_numbers
+# note range is a generator too, creating a list 1-900000000 would take lot of time to be made
+_range = range(1, 900000000)
+# will double all numbers until a result >=30 found
+for i in double_numbers(_range):
+    print(i)
+    if i >= 30:

+# in this example beg wraps say
+# Beg will call say. If say_please is True then it will change the returned message
