For loops Powershell

For loops can be used (just like in any other programming language) to have a set process run for a finite number of times.

The structure of a for loop looks like this:

for (initial value; run until condition; repeat)

To run a for loop in Powershell, use the following example which prints out the first 5 numbers:

for ($i = 1; $i -lt 6; $i++)
 {
 Write-Host $i
 }

Output:
1
2
3
4
5
