$array =1,2,3,4,5,

$array[1,3,-1]

$array[1..3]

(10..35) .GetType()

Arraylist collections are much faster than a (fixed) array

$al = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList

$al.Add(1)
$al.Add(234)

When you extend an array the computer copy the hole content of the array and create a new one to
which adds the new element

To get the memebers of the array object and not the one of the array memebrs:

Get-Member InputObject $array

$dirs = @(c:\users,c:\windows)

Invole-Command Computername comp1, comp2 ScriptBlock { $using:dirs | %{ [pscutomobject]@{

Path = $_ ; Exist = $_ | Test-Path } }}
