Sub
Definition: Declares the name, arguments, and code that form
the body of a
Subprocedure.
Windows PowerShell supports only functions, as opposed to functions and subroutines. You can define a function in Windows PowerShell by using the functionstatement followed by:
· The name of the function.
· The task to be performed by the function (enclosed in curly braces).
For example, the following command defines a function named MultiplyNumbers. This function will take two arguments ($ args [0] and $ args[1]) and then multiply those two values. Here’s the command:
function multiplynumbers{ $ args[0] * $ args[1] }
From then on you can call the function simply by specifying the function name and the two values you want multiplied:
multiplynumbers

When you run the preceding command you should get back the following:
