# Here we're writing generator. What is that?
#
# Ok, using simple words of mortal generator is an object that produces
# result by result saving its state in between yields.
#
# More delighted explanation tells us that generators are forward iterators that
# does not store values, but produce them storing its state inbetween of calls.

def fib(n):
# We initialte state of iterator here.
a, b = 0, 1
while a < n:
# Now we're doing some cruel magic, because right now execution of this
# function stops, we give execution power back to user yielding him
# intermediate result.
yield b
# But when user will require next value we would start execution from
# right here and back to while loop as we have never stop looping around.
a, b = b, a + b
# Let's lamely calculate sum of first 100 fibonac numbers.
sum = 0
for i in fib(100):
sum += i
print(sum)
