2. .SYNOPSIS 
3.     This script illustrates the CompareExchange Method 
4. .DESCRIPTION 
5.     This script creates three values, and calls CompareExchange method, 
6.     and displays the results. The first time, we compare two non-equal values 
7.     so no exchange is done. The second time, the comparison succeeds and the 
8.     value us updated.
