yield return and return

Question

I often find myself writing sth. like this:

if (condition)
{
  yield return whatever;
  yield break;
}

I find it quite verbose to have to use two yield statements for the standard paradigm "return one value and exit method". I know I can just return new List<type>() { whatever }; but that would defeat the benefit of using yield in the rest of the method.

Is there a more elegant way to yield return a value and exit the method?

Answer 1

This is probably your only other option.

if (condition) 
{
    yield return 1;
}
else
{
    yield return 2;
    yield return 3;
}
