This will output:

[1, 2, 3]
[4, 5, 6]
[7, 8]

The function uses the yield keyword to return a generator that produces the sublists. This means that the function will not create a new list with all of the sublists in it, but rather it will allow you to iterate over the sublists and do something with them one at a time. This can be more memory efficient if the input list is very large and you don't want to store all of the sublists in memory at once.
