Syntax
return
return expression
In PowerShell, the result of each statement is returned as output, even without an explicit Return keyword.
So
$price
return
has exactly the same effect as:
return $price
Example
Add the number 5 and return the value:
function demoadd {
param ($value)
"Adding five"
$value += 5
return $value
}
C:\PS> $result = demoadd 2
C:\PS>
C:\PS> $result
Adding five
7
The key point to note in the above example is that the "Adding 5" string is not displayed, but is instead assigned to the $result variable and returned along with the number.
