Powershell Function
I am running the code shown below. I enter a value and it should return the Cubicle value of it.
However I do not understand where the outcome came from.
for instance, when I enter number 3 I should see 27, instead of the outcome shown below
Thank you

Should you wonder what PowerShell did read: It saw
"3" * "3" * "3"
and since there is no "string * string" operator but a "string * integer", it converts the second string into a number. "string * integer" means "repeat the string n times". So the expression is
("3" * 3) * "3" ==> "333" * "3" ==> "333" * 3 ==> "333333333"

Write-Host ($result ) -> You cannot access the value of $result this way since $result is local to that function. It is not available externally. so $result is $null here (ie out of the function) it is displaying $null value so you are not seeing any thing on display.
The output is from this -> Get-cube($y)
