Clear captured output/return value in a Powershell function

Question

Is there a way to clear the return values inside of a function so I can guarantee that the return value is what I intend? Or maybe turn off this behaviour for the function?<

Answer 1

Pipe output to Out-Null, redirect output to $null, or prefix the function calls with [void]:

$myArray.Add("Hello") | Out-Null

or

$myArray.Add("Hello") >$null

or

[void]$myArray.Add("Hello")
