Generator produces values on the fly while iterator returns values from a collection.

• Generators use 'yield' keyword to produce values one at a time.

• Iterators use 'next()' method to return the next value in a collection.

• Generators can be infinite while iterators are finite.

• Generators are memory efficient while iterators may require more memory.

• Example of generator: function* myGenerator() { yield 1; yield 2; }

• Example of...read more
