Common Mistakes

Using incorrect function names without dash or wrong verb.

Not using the 'Stop-Process' cmdlet inside the function.

Outputting a static word like 'Stopped' instead of the process name.

The function name is 'Stop-ProcessByName', it calls 'Stop-Process' cmdlet, and outputs "Process $ProcessName stopped." to confirm.
