# Generator Pattern

[Generator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(computer_programming)) is a special routine that can be used to control the iteration behavior of a loop.
[Generators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generator_(computer_programming)) yields a sequence of values one at a time

# Implementation and Example
With Go language, we can implement generator in two ways: channel and closure. Fibonacci number generation example can be found in [generators.go](generators.go).

You can find the implementation and usage in [generator.go](generator.go)
