    About stdlib...
  </summary>
  <p>We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.</p>
  <p>The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.</p>
  <p>When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.</p>
  <p>To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on <a href="https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib">GitHub</a>, and please consider <a href="https://opencollective.com/stdlib">financially supporting stdlib</a>. We greatly appreciate your continued support!</p>

<section class="installation">

## Installation

```bash
npm install @stdlib/math-iter-sequences-tribonacci
```

</section>

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var iterTribonacciSeq = require( '@stdlib/math-iter-sequences-tribonacci' );
```

#### iterTribonacciSeq( \[options] )

Returns an iterator which generates a [Tribonacci sequence][tribonacci-number].

```javascript
var it = iterTribonacciSeq();
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

// ...
```

The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:

-   **next**: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a `value` property and a `done` property having a `boolean` value indicating whether the iterator is finished.
-   **return**: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.

The function supports the following `options`:

-   **iter**: number of iterations. Default: `64`.

The returned iterator can only generate the first `64` [Tribonacci numbers][tribonacci-number], as larger [Tribonacci numbers][tribonacci-number] cannot be safely represented in [double-precision floating-point format][ieee754]. By default, the function returns an iterator which generates all `64` numbers. To limit the number of iterations, set the `iter` option.

```javascript
var opts = {
    'iter': 3
};
var it = iterTribonacciSeq( opts );
// returns <Object>

var v = it.next().value;
// returns 0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 0

v = it.next().value;
// returns 1

var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
```

<!-- Package usage notes. Make sure to keep an empty line after the `section` element and another before the `/section` close. -->

<section class="notes">

## Notes

-   If an environment supports `Symbol.iterator`, the returned iterator is iterable.

</section>

<!-- /.notes -->

<!-- Package usage examples. -->

<section class="examples">

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var iterTribonacciSeq = require( '@stdlib/math-iter-sequences-tribonacci' );

// Create an iterator:
var it = iterTribonacciSeq();

// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
    v = it.next();
    if ( v.done ) {
        break;
    }
    console.log( v.value );
}
```
