Powershell How to add a number into a variable

Question

how can I add a number to another number contained into a variable? ``` $t0 = Get-date -UFormat "%H%M" $t1 = $t0 + 10 ``` so, if $t0 is 1030, I would $t1 values 1040.

Accepted Answer

force to `[int]` before assign value to $t0 ( `get-date -uformat` returns [string] type ):

```
[int]$t0 = Get-date -UFormat "%H%M"
$t1 = $t0 + 10
```

if you change the order the coercing feature of powershell gives the expected value:

```
$t0 = Get-date -UFormat "%H%M"
$t1 = 10 + $t0
```

because second operand is cast to type of first one
