Common Mistakes

Using 'break' will stop the loop entirely, not just skip one number.

The continue statement skips the current iteration and moves to the next one.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the loop to skip even numbers and print only odd numbers.

PowerShell

foreach ($num in 1..6) {
    if ($num % 2 -eq 0) {
        [1]
    }
    Write-Output $num
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'break' will stop the loop after the first even number.

Using continue skips even numbers and continues the loop to print only odd numbers.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to stop the loop when number is 4 and skip printing number 2.

PowerShell

foreach ($i in 1..5) {
    if ($i -eq 2) {
        [1]
    }
    if ($i -eq 4) {
        [2]
    }
    Write-Output $i
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using break to skip number 2 will stop the loop too early.

continue skips printing number 2, and break stops the loop at number 4.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to skip numbers less than 3, stop at 6, and print the rest.

PowerShell

foreach ($num in 1..7) {
    if ($num -lt [1]) {
        [2]
    }
    if ($num -eq [3]) {
        break
    }
    Write-Output $num
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'exit' instead of 'continue' will stop the entire script.

Numbers less than 3 are skipped with continue. The loop stops at 6 using break. The blanks fill the values and commands accordingly.
