## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
A generator is an executable entity (like a function or procedure) that contains code that yields a sequence of values, one at a time, so that each time you call the generator, the next value in the sequence is provided.
|
|
Generators are often built on top of coroutines or objects so that the internal state of the object is handled “naturally”.
|
|
Generators are often used in situations where a sequence is potentially infinite, and where it is possible to construct the next value of the sequence with only minimal state.
|
|
Write a function that uses generators to generate squares and cubes. Create a new generator that filters all cubes from the generator of squares.
|
|
The function should return the \( n^{th} \) value of the filtered generator.
|
|
For example for \(n=7\), the function should return 81 as the sequence would be 4,9,16,25,36,49,81. Here 64 is filtered out, as it is a cube.
