# The Javascript run in this example is shown below.

# Load the JavaScript from a file.

# Run the JavaScript
# Eval returns the completion value of the script. This is generally the value of the last evaluated expression.
# In this case, the last evaluated expression is an int.
$success = $js.Eval($sbScript,$result)

# Output:
