I am using yield and struck somewhere , can anyone explain how yield work my scenerio is shown below.
public static IEnumerable Power(int number, int exponent) { int result = 1; int counter = 0; Console.WriteLine("Inside Power - Before While"); while (counter++ < exponent) { Console.WriteLine("Inside Power - Inside While"); result = result * number; yield return result; //Console.WriteLine("New line added"); } Console.WriteLine("Inside Power - After While"); } static void Main(string[] args) { foreach (int i in Power(2, 8)) { Console.WriteLine("{0}", i); } } So the output we are getting here is
Inside Power - Before While Inside power - Inside While 2 Inside power - Inside While 4 Inside power - Inside While 8 Inside power - Inside While 16 Inside power - Inside While 32 Inside power - Inside While 64 Inside power - Inside While 128 Inside power - Inside While 256 Inside power - AfterWhile So my question is how the pointer shifts from foreach to Enumerable method while loop and prints and so on. why whole method is not called and only while loop is executing each time.
