How to return one and only one value from a PowerShell function?

Question

I\'ve learned from this Stack Overflow question, that PowerShell return semantics are different, let\'s say, from C#\'s return semantics. Quote from the aforementioned quest

You can also just assign everything to null, and then return just the variable you want:

Function TestReturn {

    $Null = @(
        Write-Output "Hi there!"
        1 + 1
        $host
        $ReturnVar = 5
    )
    return $ReturnVar
}
