Taken from a question here: Adding items to end of linked list class Node { Object data; Node next; Node(Object d,Node n) { data = d ; next = n ; } public static Node addLast(Node header, Object x) { // save the reference to the header so we can return it. Node ret = … Read more
Building on larsmans answer, a custom iterator can be built to do this: class my_large_num(object): def __init__(self): self.num_iterations = 0 def __iter__(self): return self def next(self): if self.num_iterations < 1: self.num_iterations += 1 return 10**200 else: raise StopIteration() You can then: import pickle pickled_repr = pickle.dumps(my_large_num()) restored_object = pickle.loads(pickled_repr) sum(restored_object) This works because underneath, iterable … Read more
