How does the
itertools.cycle() function differ from using itertools.repeat() with a specified count when used with generators?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
itertools.cycle() repeats the elements of a generator indefinitely, while itertools.repeat() stops after a specified count.
import itertools
gen = (1, 2, 3)
cycle_iterable = itertools.cycle(gen)
repeat_iterable = itertools.repeat(gen, times=3)
print(list(itertools.islice(cycle_iterable, 10))) # Output: [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1]
print(list(repeat_iterable)) # Output: [(1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3)]
