title: cycleGenerator
tags: function,generator,advanced

Creates a generator, looping over the given array indefinitely.
- Use a non-terminating `while` loop, that will `yield` a value every time `Generator.prototype.next()` is called.
- Use the module operator (`%`) with `Array.prototype.length` to get the next value's index and increment the counter after each `yield` statement.
```js
const cycleGenerator = function* (arr) {
let i = 0;
while (true) {
yield arr[i % arr.length];
i++;
}
};
```
```js
const binaryCycle = cycleGenerator([0, 1]);
binaryCycle.next(); // { value: 0, done: false }
binaryCycle.next(); // { value: 1, done: false }
binaryCycle.next(); // { value: 0, done: false }
binaryCycle.next(); // { value: 1, done: false }
```
