What is the meaning of Generator?

One who, or that which, generates, begets, causes, or produces.

1. An apparatus in which vapour or gas is formed from a liquid or solid by means of heat or chemical process, as a steam boiler, gas retort etc.
2. The principal sound or sounds by which others are produced; the fundamental note or root of the common chord; -- see also generating tone.
3. An interval that is repeatedly stacked to obtain other pitches in tuning systems or scales.
4. An element of a group that is used in the presentation of the group: one of the elements from which the others can be inferred with the given relators.
5. One of the lines of a ruled surface; more generally, an element of some family of linear spaces.
6. A subordinate piece of code which, given some initial parameters, will generate multiple output values on request.
