warns of unexpected output from

 

function convert-dollar2euro($amount, $rate=0.8) {

write-output $amount * $rate

}

 

that needs rewritten as

 

function convert-dollar2euro($amount, $rate=0.8) {

write-output ($amount * $rate)

}

 

or perhaps

 

function convert-dollar2euro($amount, $rate=0.8) {

$convertedamount = $amount * $rate

write-output $convertedamount

}

 

or even

 

function convert-dollar2euro($amount, $rate=0.8) {

$amount * $rate

}
