Long description. Assignment operators assign one or more values to a variable. The equals sign ( = ) is the PowerShell assignment operator. PowerShell also has the following compound assignment operators: += , -= , *= , %= , ++ , -- , ??=
Here is my code:
clear-host
function isNumeric ($x) {
try {
0 + $x | Out-Null
return $true
} catch {
return $false
}
}
function output-file ($ave, $high, $low, $date)
{
write-output "Programer: Oday Sawaqed"
write-output "Class: CIS 124"
write-output "PowerShell Assignmnent"
write-output ""
Write-output ""
write-output " Current Date Average Highest Lowest"
write-output " $date $ave $high $low "
}
$array = @()
$hold
$n = 1
do {
$hold = read-host "number $n"
if (isNumeric $hold -eq $true){
if (999 -ne $hold) {
$array += $hold
$n = $n + 1
}
else
{
clear-host
write-host "Thank you."
write-host "The numbers you entered are:" $array
write-host "Please select a file name to save the output:"
$fileName = Read-host
$date = get-date -format "dddd, MMMM d, yyyy"
$array = $array | Sort-Object
$ave =
$high = $array | Select-Object -last 1
$low = $array | Select-Object -first 1
output-file $ave $high $low $date | Out-File c:\$fileName.txt
}
}
else {
write-host "Please enter a numeric value"
}
}
while (999 -ne $hold)
Now the code works perfectly, i just can't figure out how to add up the values in my array to calculate the average. can someone please help me or give me a hint! i know that i need to add the values together and then divide be $n, i just don't know how to add the values.
