@BanterBoy: - Explain what the script does and why it is useful.
@GitHub Copilot - This PowerShell code is using an if-else statement to check the version of PowerShell that is currently running. The if statement checks if the major version of the PowerShell version is greater than or equal to 6. If this condition is true, then the code block inside the if statement will execute and the string “Do something” will be outputted to the console using the Write-Output cmdlet. If the condition is false, then the code block inside the else statement will execute and the string “Do something else” will be outputted to the console.
In this specific case, the cursor is on line 10 which is the code block inside the else statement. This means that the PowerShell version is less than 6 and the string “Do something else” will be outputted to the console.
Overall, this code is a simple example of how to check the version of PowerShell that is currently running and execute different code blocks based on the version. To improve the readability of this code, it could be helpful to add comments explaining the purpose of the if-else statement and the code blocks inside each statement. Additionally, the indentation of the code could be improved to make it easier to read and understand.
