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...
