Here is a Powershell script
- which gets two numbers from the command line
- if there is no parameters, read them from the keyboard
- Calculate the power (first param on the power of the second )
- Display the output
- E.g. .\calcPower.ps1 2 3 => 8
PowerShell Script:
#assign argument values
$num1 = $args[0]
$num2 = $args[1]
#check if the value entered is null
if ($num1 -like "$null"){
#if null, ask for user input
$num1 = read-host "Please enter the 1st number"
}
if ($num2 -like "$null"){
$num2 = read-host "Please enter the 2nd number"
}
#calculate power using 'pow' function
$power = [Math]::Pow($num1,$num2)
#display output
Write-Output "$num1 to the power $Num2 is $power"
