The issue has to do with variable scope and your declarations. You are not declaring and initializing the variables which means the variables are not in scope when the 'if' statement is false. So the variables are picking up what was previously stored in those arrays memory when you were testing. Always declare/initialize variables to the scope they are being used. Hence, this is why you had to initialize the variables to null preceding the 'if' blocks because that is the same scope of the code that proceeds the 'if' blocks where you are adding the variable arrays together.

Dude just found your channel and I'm hyped!! I've been building a wrapper around the aws cli for our dev teams and have been using powershell because we all work on windows machines, so literally no additional installs, permissions or admin rights in order to work out of the repo. Powershell is so badass!
