Generator return expression

As we have seen earlier, on calling a generator function, it returns a value that is being returned by the yield expression. Before PHP7, it didn't have the return keyword returning a value. But since PHP7.0, it is possible to use the return expression as well. Here, I have used an example from the PHP documentation, as it explains it very well:

<?php

$gen = (function() {
    yield "First Yield";
    yield "Second Yield";

    return "return Value";
})();

foreach ($gen as $val) {
    echo $val, PHP_EOL;
}

echo $gen->getReturn(), PHP_EOL;

It will give the output as:

First Yield
Second Yield
return Value

So it clearly shows that calling a generator function in foreach will not return the return statement. Instead, it will just return at every yield. To get the return Value, this syntax: $gen->getReturn() can be used.
