Solution to Exercise 1: Iterators and generators

# Using __iter__ and __next__

        self.max_counter = max_counter
        self.counter = 0

            self.counter += 1
            return counter
        else:
            raise StopIteration

# Testing it
print(range2(10))

Solution to Exercise 2: Operator Overloading

class DataLoader:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def process(self):
        print("I am loading some data")


class DataCleaner:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def process(self):
        print("I am cleaning some data")

class Pipeline:
    def __init__(self):
        self.modules = []

    # Add __iadd__ function to overload '+='
    def __iadd__(self, module):
        self.modules.append(module)
        return self

    def process(self):
        print("I'm a pipeline, don't do anything much by myself")
        for module in self.modules:
            module.process()

p = Pipeline()
p += DataLoader()
p += DataCleaner()
p.process()

I'm a pipeline, don't do anything much by myself
I am loading some data
I am cleaning some data
