> $array = @("item1", "item2", "item3")

> for($i = 0; $i -lt $array.length; $i++){ $array[$i] }


ite
m1
item2
item3

> $array = @("item1", "item2", "item3")

> foreach ($element in $array) { $element }


item1
item2
item3
> $array = @("item1", "item2", "item3")
$counter = 0;

while($counter -lt $array.length){


$array[$counter]
$counter += 1
}

item1
item2
item3

Conditions

If condition

$x = 10

if($x -le 20){


write-host("This is if statement")
}

If/else

$x = 30

if($x -le 20){


write-host("This is if statement")
}else {
write-host("This is else statement")
}
Nested if

$x = 30
$y = 10

if($x -eq 30){


if($y -eq 10) {
write-host("X = 30 and Y = 10")
}
}

Switch

switch(3){
1 {"One"}
2 {"Two"}
3 {"Three"}
4 {"Four"}
3 {"Three Again"}
}
