I have python code that lets me iterate through a list of combinations and I want to skip over the iterations and generate for example every 100th iteration. I have a next() function that makes the combinations iterate up by one for now but I need to skip over them.
The code that I have right now is:
def fastFunction(string, string1):
try:
return next(string)
except StopIteration:
return None
This is the function that lets me generate the next iteration in my iterator when it is called.
class MyIterator:
def __init__(self, hex_string, repeat, mapping_function=None, fixed_string=""):
self.fixed_string = fixed_string # Add a parameter for the fixed string
combined_string = fixed_string+hex_string
self.repeat = repeat
self.mapping_function = mapping_function
if self.mapping_function:
combined_string = self.mapping_function(combined_string)
self.hex_string = combined_string
self.fixed_part_length = len(fixed_string)
self.combinations = itertools.product(self.hex_string, repeat=repeat - self.fixed_part_length)
self.current = fastFunction(self.combinations, None)
def __iter__(self):
return self
def modify_speed(self):
pass
def __next__(self):
if self.current is not None:
private_key = self.fixed_string+ ''.join(self.current) # Ensure the fixed string is part of the final key
self.current = fastFunction(self.combinations, None)
return private_key
else:
raise StopIteration
This is the iterator, and the function is passed into self.current and other things to make the next combination appear. I want to skip over iterations so i can generate every 100th iteration, for example, instantly. How can I do this?
