What is the difference between yield keyword in Python and yield keyword in C#?
886
Yield is generally used to convert a regular Python function into a generator. Return is generally used for the end of the execution and “returns” the result to the caller statement. It replace the return of a function to suspend its execution without destroying local variables.
Yield is a keyword in Python that is used to return from a function without destroying the states of its local variable and when the function is called, the execution starts from the last yield statement. Any function that contains a yield keyword is termed a generator.
At least in this very simple test, yield is faster than append.
We should use yield when we want to iterate over a sequence, but don't want to store the entire sequence in memory. Yield are used in Python generators. A generator function is defined like a normal function, but whenever it needs to generate a value, it does so with the yield keyword rather than return.
C#'s yield return is equivalent to Python's yield , and yield break is just return in Python.
Other than those minor differences, they have basically the same purpose.
