		A quick rundown of the example:

		* First, we specify a list of users and store the value in a variable called `$users`.
	* After that, we start our `for` loop with the `for` keyword
	* After that, we start our `for` loop with the `for` keyword.
		* Then we define a new variable which would represent each item from the list that we give. In our case, we define a variable called `user`, which would represent each user from the `$users` variable.
	* Then we specify the `in` keyword followed by our list that we will loop through
	* On the next line, we use the `do` keyword, which indicates what we will do for each iteration of the loop
	* Then we specify the commands that we want to run
	* Finally, we close the loop with the `done` keyword

		You can also use `for` to process a series of numbers. For example here is one way to loop through from 1 to 10:

		We can also use continue command in similar way to break command for controlling multiple loops.


		* `break` tells your bash script to end the loop straight away.

		We can also use break command with multiple loops. If we want to exit out of current working loop whether inner or outer loop, we simply use break but if we are in inner loop & want to exit out of outer loop, we use break 2.
