+Creates a generator, that keeps producing new values as long as the given condition is met.
+
+- Initialize the current `val` using the `seed` value.
+- Use a `while` loop to iterate while the `condition` function called with the current `val` returns `true`.
+- Use `yield` to return the current `val` and optionally receive a new seed value, `nextSeed`.
+- Use the `next` function to calculate the next value from the current `val` and the `nextSeed`.
+
+```js
+const generateWhile = function* (seed, condition, next) {
+  let val = seed;
+  let nextSeed = null;
+  while (condition(val)) {
+    nextSeed = yield val;
+    val = next(val, nextSeed);
+  }
+  return val;
+};
+```
+
+```js
+[...generateWhile(1, v => v <= 5, v => ++v)]; // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+```
