Question

Python怎么return后让循环继续运行？

Answer 1

return 会直接另函数返回，函数就运行结束了，所有该函数体内的代码都不再执行了，所以该函数体内的循环也不可能再继续运行。

如果你需要让循环继续执行，就不能return函数，而应该选用break或者continue。
break：跳出所在的当前整个循环，到外层代码继续执行。
continue：跳出本次循环，从下一个迭代继续运行循环，内层循环执行完毕，外层代码继续运行。
return：直接返回函数，所有该函数体内的代码（包括循环体）都不会再执行。

用下边的示例代码来解释：

def return_continue_break(type):
if(not type in ["return", "continue", "break"]):
print '"type" should be "return, continue, break".'
return
for j in range(0, 10):
for i in range(0, 10):
print "j_i: %d_%d" %(j, i)
if(i > 3):
if(type == "return"):
return
elif(type == "continue"):
continue
else:
break
print "executed!"

if __name__ == '__main__':
return_continue_break("break")
return_continue_break("continue")
return_continue_break("return")

BREAK的输出为：

return 会直接另函数返回，函数就运行结束了，所有该函数体内的代码都不再执行了，所以该函数体内的循环也不可能再继续运行。

如果你需要让循环继续执行，就不能return函数，而应该选用break或者continue。
break：跳出所在的当前整个循环，到外层代码继续执行。
continue：跳出本次循环，从下一个迭代继续运行循环，内层循环执行完毕，外层代码继续运行。
return：直接返回函数，所有该函数体内的代码（包括循环体）都不会再执行。

Answer 3

这就是生成器的作用，如：

def func1():
    for i in range(10):
        yield i


for a in func1():
    print a

函数运行到return会自动返回，不再运行该函数

使用生成器，可以通过迭代生成器，继续执行函数剩下的部分

上代码执行的输出为：
