These are a few examples of simple iterators created using the yield feature. These are implemented by having a static method in a utility class, which supplies iterators for different needs.

When writing iterators which do not just return a wrapped collection, there are two options:
1. Create a collection in memory, add all relevant items to it in the order required, and return the list.
2. Save the state of the iterator (current index in array, current iterator location in a collection, stack in a tree, etc) and every time the next() calculate the next element on the spot.
