Whole enum iteration

foreach (Suit suit in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Suit)))
{
    // ...
}

But how To iterate a bitwise enum Instance?

Suit mySuits = Suit.Hearts | Suit.Diamonds;
// How to now iterate mySuits, which should loop twice instead of four times?

    Assuming Suit is a bitwise enum with no overlapping values, then this would be sufficient:

    var availableSuits = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Suit)).Cast<Enum>();
    foreach (Suit suit in availableSuits.Where(mySuits.HasFlag)) {
        // ...
    }
    

    If it needs to be fast, or if it needs to ignore composite values or a zero value, then you should probably instead check successive powers of two in a for loop and identify which values match that way.
