The foreach loop

The foreach loop is very simple to use. It also has the simplest syntax. We use the foreach keyword followed by brackets in this loop. Inside the brackets, you must specify the type of data you want to iterate through inside your loop. Pick a single element variable name. You can name it whatever you like. This name is used to access this variable inside the main loop block. After the name, we write the in keyword, followed by our List variable name, as shown here:

I know it's quite confusing now, but don't worry too much about the theory. All you need to know as of now is that the code inside the foreach loop is called as many times as there are elements in myCollectionVariable. So, if myCollectionVariable contains 10 elements, the code inside the loop block (highlighted in pink) will be executed 10 times.

To make it a bit more eye friendly, let's look at an actual code example. We will use the family members example from the previous chapter and print every element inside...
