PowerShell array initialization
You can also rely on the default value of the constructor if you wish to create a typed array:
> $a = new-object bool[] 5> $aFalseFalseFalseFalseFalseThe default value of a bool is apparently false so this works in your case. Likewise if you create a typed int[] array, you'll get the default value of 0.
Another cool way that I use to initialze arrays is with the following shorthand:
> $a = ($false, $false, $false, $false, $false)> $aFalseFalseFalseFalseFalseOr if you can you want to initialize a range, I've sometimes found this useful:
> $a = (1..5) > $a12345
Hope this was somewhat helpful!
Yet another alternative:
for ($i = 0; $i -lt 5; $i++) { $arr += @($false) }This one works if $arr isn't defined yet.
NOTE - there are better (and more performant) ways to do this... see https://stackoverflow.com/a/234060/4570 below as an example.
