Treehouse TeacherHi! The difference between return
and yield from
is that return
sends back a specified value. It cannot send back multiples values one at a time. yield from
sends back a single value from the given iterable and then sends back the next value and the next until it has sent all values from the iterable.
Here's some more info: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/use-yield-keyword-instead-return-keyword-python/
