A question about iterators.

[HeshamElsaman]

Is there a fundamental difference between iterators in Python and the concept of pointers in C/C++ ?

[avgagliardo]

With respect to datatypes, they are very different. C++ requires you to be very explicit with your data types while using iterators, in python they just work.

It takes a little bit of getting used to, because it seems like you are working with less information but the iterator objects are actually very "smart" and their uses generally conform to the same set of patterns.

Here are some docs on python iterators.

Thanks, a lot!
