What does “yield break;” do in C#?

Question

I have seen this syntax in MSDN: yield break, but I don\'t know what it does. Does anyone know?

Answer 1

Here http://www.alteridem.net/2007/08/22/the-yield-statement-in-c/ is very good example:

public static IEnumerable Range( int min, int max )
{
   while ( true )
   {
      if ( min >= max )
      {
         yield break;
      }
      yield return min++;
   }
}

and explanation, that if a yield break statement is hit within a method, execution of that method stops with no return. There are some time situations, when you don't want to give any result, then you can use yield break.
