❓ Classes

A class in .NET might be considered to be the recipe used to create a type. A type is a representation of something, anything.

Classes are created using the Class keyword.
An instance of the Car class can be created using ::new().

class Car { }
$car = [Car]::new()

What type results when you create classes like above?

❗ Classes

Properties are used to describe different information about an object.
A hashtable can be used to fill the properties of an object when the object is created.

class Car {
$Make
[string] $Model
}
$car = [Car]@{
Make = 'Volkswagon'
Model = 'Golf'
}

Properties which do not have an explicit type name defined are given the type System.Object.

$car | gm -name Make
