Lists, dictionaries, queues, and stacks
Arrays and Hashtables are integral to PowerShell and being able to manipulate these is critical. If these simple structures fail to provide an efficient means of working with a set of data, there are advanced alternatives.
The following .NET collections are discussed:
System.Collections.Generic.ListSystem.Collections.Generic.DictionarySystem.Collections.Generic.QueueSystem.Collections.Generic.Stack
Each of these collections has detailed documentation (for .NET) available on Microsoft Docs:

ArrayList is often used in examples requiring advanced array manipulation in PowerShell...
