Kertymägeneraattoriksi

Kertymägeneraattoriksi is a Finnish term that translates to "accumulator generator" or "summation generator" in English. It refers to a type of function or object in programming that generates a sequence of numbers, where each subsequent number is the sum of the previous number and a certain increment. This differs from a simple sequence generator where each number might be a fixed increment of the previous one. Instead, a kertymägeneraattoriksi builds upon itself, accumulating the results.

In practice, a kertymägeneraattoriksi might be implemented as a class or a function that maintains an internal state representing the current accumulated value. When requested to produce the next value, it adds a predefined increment to its current state and returns the new state. This process can be visualized as a running total. For example, if the starting value is 0 and the increment is 5, a kertymägeneraattoriksi would produce the sequence 5, 10, 15, 20, and so on.

This concept can be useful in various programming scenarios, such as generating sequences for simulations, creating progress indicators, or in algorithms that require cumulative calculations. The term emphasizes the act of accumulation as the core mechanism for generating the sequence. While not a universally recognized programming term outside of Finnish-speaking contexts, the underlying concept is a common programming pattern.
