Parameters
1 - While Loop
Below shows the basic While statement syntax:
while (<condition>){<statement list>}
The Statement List (statement list): This is where all PowerShell commands are been written for the function to execute.
The Condition Section (condition>): This evaluates the condition to either True or False; If True the loop continues, if false it breaks out of the loop.
The example in this Blueprint first checks if the condition (the value of the variable "i" is less than the total number of strings in the array [$array]) is true, if true it then runs the commands in the script block (statement list).
The loop keeps running until the condition becomes false.
The connection details have changed from the last step.

#Region While Loop
#==============================================================================
# The variable array ($array) is declared and holds an Array of strings.
$array = @("A", "T", "T", "U", "N", "E")
# Creates a variable "i" and assigns a numeric value of 0 to it.
$i = 0
while ($i -lt $array.Count) {
# This echos out the present value of the string in the array when the condition is satisfied.
# `n - it creates a new line after the message.
# This is a print to screen CMDLET [Write-Host].
Write-Host $array[$i] `n
# Suspends the activity in the script for 1 second
Start-Sleep -s 1
# Increment the present value of $i by 1 ($i++ is the same as "$i = $i + 1"}).
$i++
}

POWERSHELL WHILE LOOP ON ATTUNE
This is a Blueprint on Attune of how to run a While Loop in PowerShell
The While Loop is a construct for creating a loop that runs commands in a command block as long as a conditional test evaluates to true.
It is easier to construct than a For statement because its syntax is less complicated.
