the above example. The parentheses aren't always necessary, but it's
easier to always add them instead of having to remember when they're
needed.\footnote{The exact rules are that a \keyword{yield}-expression must

expression on the right-hand side of an assignment, meaning you can
write \code{val = yield i} but have to use parentheses when there's an
operation, as in \code{val = (yield i) + 12}.}

(\pep{342} explains the exact rules, which are that a
\keyword{yield}-expression must always be parenthesized except when it
occurs at the top-level expression on the right-hand side of an
assignment. This means you can write \code{val = yield i} but have to
use parentheses when there's an operation, as in \code{val = (yield i)
+ 12}.)
Values are sent into a generator by calling its
\method{send(\var{value})} method. The generator's code is then
