Sample Exercise

"""
Exercise: Fibonacci Generator
Difficulty: Intermediate

Create a generator function that yields Fibonacci numbers indefinitely.
The function should:
1. Yield the first n Fibonacci numbers
2. Handle edge cases (n <= 0)
3. Use the yield keyword properly

Example:
    >>> fib = fibonacci(5)
    >>> list(fib)
    [0, 1, 1, 2, 3]
"""

def fibonacci(n):
    """Your solution here"""
    pass

# Test your solution
if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Test cases
    print(list(fibonacci(10)))  # [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]
    print(list(fibonacci(0)))   # []
    print(list(fibonacci(1)))   # [0]
