Once you get accustomed to writing PowerShell scripts, you need to learn about code modularization. Modularization is just a fancy word for creating code in building blocks. In the PowerShell world, PowerShell functions are one of the best ways to do this. When you write a PowerShell script, you have many options on how you write the code. You could write a thousand lines of code that do hundreds of tasks, all in a single, uninterrupted block of code. That would be a disaster. Instead, you should write functions. Functions dramatically increase the usability and readability of your code, making it much easier to work with. In this tutorial, you’ll learn to write functions, add and manage your functions’ parameters, and set up functions to accept pipeline input. But first, let’s look at a bit of terminology.
The concept of a function might sound familiar because it sounds a bit like the cmdlets you’ve probably been using already. Commands like Start-Service and Write-Host, for example, are similar to functions. These are named pieces of code that solve a single problem. The difference between a function and a cmdlet is how each of these constructs is made. A cmdlet isn’t written with PowerShell. It’s written in another language, typically something like C#. The cmdlet is then compiled and made available inside PowerShell. Functions, on the other hand, are written in PowerShell; not in another language.
