Lesson 029: Custom iterators and iter() bridges

Focus

Let the literals expose mistaken assumptions quickly: Intermediate drills Custom iterators and iter() bridges; spin token 279268 makes this page unlike its neighbours.

Key ideas

Angle Intermediate: micro cadence 9 mixes Custom iterators and iter() bridges; spin 56913.
Ritual: List two regressions CI should catch later.
Guardrail: pick the budget that keeps this rehearsal honest.

Example (`LESSON_UID = "intermediate-029"`)

# Intermediate drill L029 topic-2 micro-8 pattern-9
LESSON_UID = "intermediate-029"
spin_a, spin_b, spin_c = 120, 416, 890

def helper(x, bias=93):
    return (x * bias + 8) % 5009

samples = [helper(29 + k) for k in range(3 + 2 % 4)]
print(samples, max(samples) - min(samples))

from pathlib import Path
import tempfile

with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as scratch:
    target = Path(scratch) / "scratch-29.txt"
    snap = [42, 174, 306]
    target.write_text("\n".join(str(x) for x in snap), encoding="utf-8")
    print("scratch_bytes", target.stat().st_size, "rolling", sum(snap) % (890 + 131))

Practice

Practice 32: Pair-snippet assertions about checksum ranges you'd ship. Literal nudge 32.
