2. .SYNOPSIS 
3.     This script displays the value, and type, of an expression. 
4. .DESCRIPTION 
5.     This script is a rewrite of the second example on this page, The  
6.     script illustrates how to use the GetType method to return 
7.     the type that results from a calculation. in this case, two  
8.     multiplying two int32 with the Pi field results in a System.Double.
