yield (C# Reference)

You use a yield return statement to return each element one at a time.

//using System.Collections;  
//using System.Diagnostics; 
public static void Process()
{
    // Display powers of 2 up to the exponent of 8:  
    foreach (int number in Power(2, 8))
    {
        Debug.Write(number.ToString() + " ");
    }
    // Output: 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256
}


public static IEnumerable Power(int baseNumber, int highExponent)
{
    int result = 1;

    for (int counter = 1; counter <= highExponent; counter++)
    {
        result = result * baseNumber;
        yield return result;
    }
}
