Default value of parameter is not used in function

Question

I have a very basic PowerShell script:

Param(
    [string]$MyWord
)

function myfunc([string] $MyWord) {
    Write-Host \"$MyWord\"
}
myfunc @PSBoundParamete         


        

Answer 1

If you want to use "Param" enclose it in the function like this:

function myfunc {

    Param(
        [string]$MyWord='hi'
    )

    Write-Host "$MyWord" 
}
