To find the Exception inheritence of an error

Show-ExceptionType

function Show-ExceptionType {
    <#
    .SYNOPSIS
    Function to give inheritence of exception types for error handling purposes

    .DESCRIPTION
    Take an error and returns all InnerException types for the Error object and the error message

    .PARAMETER Exception
    The error exception as it occurred in your script

    .EXAMPLE

    try {
        10/0
    }
    catch {
        Show-ExceptionType -Exception $_.Exception
    }

    This example causes a Divide by zero error which is Exception type System.DivideByZeroException which is part of the System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException exceptions

    Output is :
    System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException - Attempted to divide by zero.
      System.DivideByZeroException - Attempted to divide by zero.


    .EXAMPLE

    try {
        10/0
    }
    catch {
        Show-ExceptionType -Exception $_.Exception -outputasobject
    }

    .NOTES
    I didnt create this script but I am sorry to say that I cant recall the source either.

    Thank you anonymous PowerShell person.

    Script reproduced here as I often forget what I call it and where I save it and it might be useful to others

    Updates
     to change from write-host to write-output otherwise called functions cant consume the output
     to include error message
     to offer option to have string or object output
