+==== GEERATORS ====
+A generator expression looks just like a list comprehension but with parentheses instead of brackets:
+<code python>
+# List comprehension — builds a list
+[some_func(w) for w in s.split()]
+# Generator expression — produces values lazily
+(some_func(w) for w in s.split())
+</code>
+When you pass a generator directly as the only argument to a function, you can drop the extra parentheses:
+<code python>
+" ".join(some_func(w) for w in s.split())    # parens omitted (cleaner)
