Steve Jones shows us how to implement a hashtable in Powershell:
With that code, I could easily solve the puzzle. However I was struck by the various ways I work with the hash tables. I use braces, {}, to declare the table. I use brackets, [], to access elements and then parenthesis, (), when calling methods. All of that makes programming sense, but it’s something to keep in mind, especially as those three marks mean different things in Python.
Hashtables are easy to implement in Powershell and are extremely useful.
