    //if you change the for loop to while i <= string length the last thing does not have a character associated with it so there is a problem displayed in powershell
    //the length(box) is 2, and x would be in the 2nd position
    //because the length count starts at zero instead of 1 so if its 13 characters long it needs to stop at position 12
