Subject: [Caml-list] Iterators and lazy lists
Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2001 22:32:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3B4A936F.B7610C0D@quasar.ipa.nw.ru> (raw)

Hi All,

I didn't fully understand from the docs, what is the preferred way to
generate lazy (e.g., computed on demand) lists in OCaml, like what is
achieved in Python via __getitem__. Should I generate a stream for this,
or define an iterator like in C++?

I'd like to find an analog of the following in Python:

for item in myCustomDict.lazyItems():
	if found(item):
		break

Certainly, a recursive traversal solution is preferred over a looping
one.

Thank you in advance

Alexander
