Learn PowerShell: Episode 10, Counting + Loop Control + Functions

Welcome to the tenth episode of the PowerShell tutorial series! This is the series' second-to-last episode, and it's been a long time coming, but here we are!

In this episode, I cover how to count from one number to another with loops, the special keywords PowerShell provides to let you control loops from within them, and functions!

There are many ways of counting from one number to another, all of which I go through in this video: Through while, through foreach and through for. I also cover some of the deeper conventions that underline counting with loops and such.

The next thing I cover in this video is how to control loops from within them, through the keywords "Break" and "Continue". These are really powerful keywords that help you write much neater code.

And speaking of useful structures: One of the most powerful features of any programming language, functions, is introduced fully in this video, from why you'd want them, to how to make them and put parameters and return values on them.

Lots to cover, so sit back and enjoy!

Besides meaning 'index', when the variable name '$i' is in a loop, you can take it as short for "iterator_Variable", since you use it to count the iterations of the loop.

Thanks you. The series have provide good explaination it help to clear up some concept issue i have previously. This is only be beginning and it works differently in corporate environment as we used different module and sometime writing function.
