Redirecting to null

Redirection to null, such as Out-Null, can be added at the end of a statement to discard output. This is shown here:

using namespace System.Text$service = Get-Service | Select-Object -First 1$stringBuilder = [StringBuilder]::new()$stringBuilder.AppendFormat('Name: {0}', $service.Name).AppendLine().               AppendFormat('Status: {0}', $service.Status).AppendLine().               AppendLine() > $null$stringBuilder.ToString()
