Need help "migrating" code from Update to a co-routine

Update {
while(active) {
switch (state) {
case 0:
//0
break;
case 1:
//1
break;
case 2:
//2
break;
case 3:
//3
break;
case 4:
//4
break;
}

		if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1") && state < 4) {
			Debug.Log ("test");
			mouseWheel = 1.0f;
			++state;
		} else {
			mouseWheel += Input.GetAxis ("Mouse ScrollWheel");
			if (mouseWheel < 1) mouseWheel = 1.0f;
		}
	}
}

How could I get the same output in a co-routine? I have tried so many times but I just can’t figure it out.

This is how i’d do it…

IEnumerator MyCoRoutine() {
    while(active) {
        switch (state) {
        case 0:
            //0
            break;
        case 1:
            //1
            break;
        case 2:
            //2
            break;
        case 3:
            //3
            break;
        case 4:
            //4
            break;
        }
 
        if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1") && state < 4) {
            Debug.Log ("test");
            mouseWheel = 1.0f;
            ++state;
        } else {
            mouseWheel += Input.GetAxis ("Mouse ScrollWheel");
            if (mouseWheel < 1) mouseWheel = 1.0f;
        }
        yield return 0; //Wait for Next Update
        //Or yield return WaitForFixedUpdate();
        //Or yield return new WaitFOrSeconds(0.5f)
    }
    yield break; //Not Active.. Finish with this co-routine
}

And start the coroutine… from wherever… like this…
StartCoroutine(“MyCoRoutine”);

And if you want to “kill” it prematurely, use StopCoroutine(“MyCoRoutine”);
