Today's tip ‣ Variables: Variable categories

”PowerShell defines the following categories of variables: static variables, instance variables, array elements, Hashtable key/value pairs, parameters, ordinary variables, and variables on provider drives.”
- `[Math::PI]` is a static variable
- `$date.Month` is an instance variable
- `$values[2]` is an array element
- `$h1.FirstName` is a `Hashtable` key whose corresponding value is $h1['FirstName']`
- `$p1` and `$p2` are parameters
- `$radius`, `$circumference`, `$date`, `$month`, `$values`, `$value`, and `$h1` are ordinary variables
- `$Alias:A`, `$Env:MyPath`, `${E:output.txt}`, and `$function:F` are variables on the corresponding provider drives.
- `$Variable:v` is actually an ordinary variable written with its fully qualified provider drive.
