Check if a variable/property is a single value or is an object/array

Question

I want to loop through a bunch of objects and check each object's properties to see if it is a single value (string or int) or if it is an object/array (doesn't matter if it contains anything just see if it is an object or array).

I was going to just do a check to see if each property is a string or and integer, but is there a more efficient way?

Answer 1

$object -is [Array]

The -is operator checks whether an object is a certain type.

Edit: maybe what you want is to see if it's a Value Type?

$object.GetType().IsValueType

Update: TamusJRoyce mentioned in a comment that they didn't see an .IsValueType property, and suggested this, which is more idiomatic and might work in more situations:

$value -is [System.ValueType]
