Changing the output in generator expressions

Great! At this point, you already know how to write a basic generator expression. In this exercise, you will push this idea a little further by adding to the output expression of a generator expression. Because generator expressions and list comprehensions are so alike in syntax, this should be a familiar task for you!

You are given a list of strings lannister and, using a generator expression, create a generator object that you will iterate over to print its values.

Exercise instructions

Write a generator expression that will generate the lengths of each string in lannister. Use person as the iterator variable. Assign the result to lengths.
Supply the correct iterable in the for loop for printing the values in the generator object.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Create a list of strings: lannister
lannister = ['cersei', 'jaime', 'tywin', 'tyrion', 'joffrey']

# Create a generator object: lengths
lengths = ____

# Iterate over and print the values in lengths
for value in ____:
    print(value)
