Question

Initialize an empty hashtable, programmatically add 5 items (colors, names, fruits, etc.), use Write-Host to print the keys and values separately, then remove one of the items and print the entire hashtable

POWERSHELL PLEASE!

Answer 1

Initializing an empty hashtable:

$hash = @{}

adding 5 items:

Syntax: $hash = @{ key1 = value1 ; key2 = value2; key3 = value3 ; key4=value4;key5=value5}

$hash = @{ ID = 1; Color = "Red" ; Name = "Bhanu"; Fruit="Apple" ; Shape = "Square"}

we can also use Ordered dictionaries to maintain the order in which entries are added as shown below:

$hash = [ordered]@{ ID = 1; Color = "Red" ; name = "Bhanu"; fruit="Apple" ; Shape = "Square"}

Print the keys using Write-host:

write-host("Print all hashtable keys")
$hash.keys

Output:

Print all hashtable keys
ID
Color
Name
Fruit
Shape

Print the Values using Write-host:

write-host("Print all hashtable values")
$hash.values

Output:

Print all hashtable values
1
Red
Bhanu
Apple
Square

Removing one of the item(Fruit):

write-host("Removing an item")

$hash.Remove("Fruit")

printing the entire hashtable:

$hash

Output:

Name                           Value    
----                           -----                                                    
ID                             1                                                        
Color                          Red
Name                           Bhanu                                                     
Shape                          Square
