ADDITIONAL

➢ In PowerShell, you can assign multiple variables in one line using array assignment or the Set-Variable cmdlet.

EXAMPLE OF ARRAY ASSIGNMENT

# Assign multiple variables using array assignment
$a, $b, $c = 1, 2, 3
# Output the variables
Write-Output "a: $a, b: $b, c: $c"
EXAMPLE USING SET-VARIABLE CMDLET
# Assign multiple variables using Set-Variable
Set-Variable -Name 'a' -Value 1
Set-Variable -Name 'b' -Value 2
Set-Variable -Name 'c' -Value 3
# Output the variables
Write-Output "a: $a, b: $b, c: $c"

➢ You can use PowerShell to prompt for user input with the Read-Host cmdlet. This cmdlet allows you to get input
from the user during script execution.

EXAMPLE OF SIMPLE INPUT

# Prompt for a simple input
$name = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter your name'
Write-Output "Hello, $name!"
EXAMPLE OF INPUT WITH CONFIRMATION
# Prompt for a password (secure input)
$password = Read-Host -Prompt 'Enter your password' -AsSecureString
Write-Output "Password entered successfully."
EXAMPLE OF INPUT WITH VALIDATION
# Prompt for input and validate it
function Get-ValidatedInput {
param (
[string]$Prompt,
[scriptblock]$ValidationScript
)

do {
$input = Read-Host -Prompt $Prompt
$valid = & $ValidationScript $input
if (-not $valid) {
Write-Host "Invalid input, please try again." -ForegroundColor Red
}
} while (-not $valid)

return $input
}

# Use the function to get a valid number

$number = Get-ValidatedInput -Prompt 'Enter a number between 1 and 10' -
ValidationScript {
param ($input)
return ($input -match '^\d+$' -and $input -ge 1 -and $input -le 10)
}
Write-Output "You entered: $number"
EXAMPLE OF CHOICE INPUT
# Prompt the user to choose from a set of options
$choices = @("Option1", "Option2", "Option3")
$selectedChoice = $null

while ($selectedChoice -eq $null) {

$selectedChoice = $choices | Out-GridView -Title "Select an option" -PassThru
}

Write-Output "You selected: $selectedChoice"

EXAMPLE OF SCRIPT WITH ARITHMETIC OPERATION (TRY TO ANSWER ALSO THE
OUTPUTS)
# Prompt the user for the first number
$number1 = [int](Read-Host "Enter the first number")

# Prompt the user for the second number

 $number2 = [int](Read-Host "Enter the second number")

# Perform arithmetic operations

$sum = $number1 + $number2
$difference = $number1 - $number2
$product = $number1 * $number2

if ($number2 -ne 0) {
$quotient = $number1 / $number2
} else {
$quotient = "undefined (cannot divide by zero)"
}

$modulus = $number1 % $number2

# Display the results

Write-Output "The sum of $number1 and $number2 is: $sum"
Write-Output "The difference between $number1 and $number2 is: $difference"
Write-Output "The product of $number1 and $number2 is: $product"
Write-Output "The quotient of $number1 divided by $number2 is: $quotient"
Write-Output "The remainder of $number1 divided by $number2 is: $modulus"

ACTIVITY

➢ TRY TO CREATE A SCRIPT

Steps:
1. Open Windows PowerShell ISE. Create a script that will display a greeting and a random name of your
groupmate with today’s date.
2. Create a variable that will hold this greeting, “Hello World! Welcome to IPT1.”
3. Create a variable that will hold today’s date.
4. Create an array of your names in your group.
5. Create a variable that will hold the random name.
6. Print/display the greeting, random name, and today’s date.
7. Run the script 3 times.
➢ Variable is a unit of memory in which the data is stored. In PowerShell, the name of a variable starts with a dollar
sign $. The name of variables is not case sensitive and can include spaces and special characters. When you
assign a value for a variable, you must use the assignment or equal operator =.
o Example:
o $firstName = Diwata
o $lastName = Pares
o $123
o $extension_Name
➢ Array is a data structure that can hold a collection of items. The code below is the basic syntax in creating an
array in PowerShell:
o $arrayName = @ (arrayItem1, arrayItem2, arrayItem3…..arrayItem10)
➢ “Get-Date” is a command where it returns the date today.
 ➢ “Get-Random” is a command where it will return a random value.

➢ TRY TO CREATE A SCRIPT

Part 1:
1. Create a variable called $studentName and assign it with a value "Juan Dela Cruz".
2. Create another variable called $subjectScore with a floating-point number representing a grade 85.5.
3. Combine $studentName and $subjectScore into a sentence like "Juan Dela Cruz scored 85.5 in the subject." and
store it in a new variable called $result.
Part 2:
1. Create a variable called $scoreString and set it to "92".
2. Convert $scoreString to an integer and store it in a new variable called $scoreInt.
3. Multiply $scoreInt by 2 and store the result in $finalScore. Ensure $finalScore is an integer.
Part 3:
1. Create three variables, $num1, $num2, and $num3, and assign them the values 10, 15.5, and 20, respectively.
2. Calculate the average of these three numbers and store it in a variable called $average. Ensure the average is a
floating-point number.
Part 4:
1. Create a variable called $grade and set it to 78.
2. Use an if-statement to check:
3. If $grade is greater than or equal to 90, set $gradeLevel to "A".
4. If $grade is greater than or equal to 80, set $gradeLevel to "B".
5. If $grade is greater than or equal to 70, set $gradeLevel to "C".
6. Otherwise, set $gradeLevel to "D".
Part 5:
1. Use $gradeLevel and $studentName variables to create a sentence: "Juan Dela Cruz received a _ grade."
2. Store this sentence in a new variable called $finalResult and display it in uppercase letters. Use ToUpper() method.

➢ PowerShell does not have built-in symbolic operators like >, <, >=, or <=. You muse the named comparison
operators for numeric and string comparisons. Use “-gt” to check a value is greater than another, and “-ge” to
check if a value is greater than or equal to another. On the other hand, use “-lt” to check if a value is less than
another, and “-le” to check if a value is less than or equal to another. Lastly, “-eq” to check if two values are
equal, and “-ne” to check if two values are not equal.
