The comment right after the last console.log suggests the output should be `undefined`. Whereas in reality the output is `3`

Actual:
```
console.log(gen.next().value); // 0
console.log(gen.next().value); // 1
console.log(gen.next().value); // 2
console.log(gen.next().value); // undefined
```

Expected:
```
console.log(gen.next().value); // 0
console.log(gen.next().value); // 1
console.log(gen.next().value); // 2
console.log(gen.next().value); // 3
```

In the example, there is a condition to stop the generator before reaching 3.
If you inspect the result of gen.next(), you should normally have the following:

gen.next(); // Object { value: 0, done: false }
gen.next(); // Object { value: 1, done: false }
gen.next(); // Object { value: 2, done: false }
gen.next(); // Object { value: undefined, done: true }

In other words, when the generator has reached its final state (when "done" is true), the "value" property doesn't matter anymore and should be undefined (according to https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/2016/#sec-iteratorresult-interface).

Do you think of a better wording for the example?

Missed that conditional! This bug is invalid. Closing it.
