Loops/While: Difference between revisions

=={{header|PowerShell}}==

<lang powershell>$i = 1024

while ($i -gt 0) {

$i

$i /= 2

}</lang>

Since PowerShell automatically converts variables to other types to accommodate for operations the above loop does not stop at 1 like it would in other languages but loops for quite a while until the value is small enough to be considered 0. An explicit cast corrects this:

<lang powershell>$i = 1024

while ($i -gt 0) {

$i

[int]$i /= 2

}</lang>
