Yield statement

Example:

  1. yield (1, 2, 3)

The yield statement is used instead of the return statement in iterators. It is only valid in iterators. Execution is returned to the body of the for loop that called the iterator. Yield does not end the iteration process, but execution is passed back to the iterator if the next iteration starts. See the section about iterators (Iterators and the for statement) for further information.
