Getting the data types of elements in an array
Arrays in PowerShell are quite forgiving. They are easy to declare, and they can contain elements of different types if you want to. You can quite easily check to see if an object is an array or not, but have you ever needed to check the types of the elements inside the array itself? (more…)

The information you get is basic stuff like network address, the first and the last usable addresses, the broadcast address etc. But it will also tell you the class of the address, as well as if it’s a private address or not. If run without any parameters it will try to get the needed information from the host you are running it on. (more…)
