Generators and yield feature in Sciter Script

In Sciter any function that contains yield keyword is treated as a generator function.

Main purpose of the generator is to produce sequence of values – on each generator invocation it returns next value.
Generator returns next value when yield <expression> is executed by the generator.

Consider this generator function:

function  ordinals() {
   yield "first";
   yield "second";
   yield "third";
}

And the code that uses it:

for(var ordinal in ordinals()) 
  stdout.println(ordinal);

Body of the loop will be executed three times as on each generator invocation next yield will emit its value.
And so you will get this output:

> first
> second
> third

The yield (in generators) and await (asynchronous tasks) are internal incarnations of the same mechanism – coroutines.
