How can I pass a variable from one generator to another in Python?

Question

I have the following 2 generators:

a = 20

def function1():
    coin = np.random.randint(0, 100)
    a2= a+coin
    yield a2


def function2():
    yield a2

I want to pass a2 to function2. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

I am not completly sure if this is what you are looking for, but generators have a method called 'send' which enables you to pass data to the generator. You might want to read this example. Pay attention to the functions 'consume' and 'produce'.
