Problem with "set," "if," "foreach" commands

New to Unix, so please have patience.
I understand that I should be able to type
set food = pickle
echo $food
But nothing echoes. It just leaves a blank line, then gives another command prompt. Am I doing
anything wrong?
"If" also doesn't work. This is what happens:
$ if (5 > 0)
> echo "Hello"
> endif
>
>
>
And it merely continues that way until I exit the shell.
Also a problem with "foreach." Output:
$ foreach run (1 2 3)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Typing "help set" and "help foreach" gives me:
$ help foreach
bash: help: no help topics match `foreach'. Try `help help' or `man -k foreach' or `info
foreach'.
Anything I can do to resolve this? I appreciate the help. Thanks.
