How to use every Operators block in Scratch

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Discover the power of mathematical and logical blocks in Scratch!

With these blocks, you can perform basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Combine them to create more complex equations. For example, use them to pick a random number for a game feature or to compare values using greater than, less than, and equal blocks.

Explore the world of Boolean logic with blocks like "and," "or," and "not," which return true or false based on conditions. Use them to control when certain actions should occur, like repeating a task until a condition is met.

Join blocks allow you to combine words, variables, or equations into a single string of text. You can even use them to create a clock by stacking multiple join blocks together.

Other useful blocks include those for detecting specific letters or characters in text, performing modulo operations, rounding numbers, and manipulating mathematical functions like sine, cosine, and square root.

short, simple, clearly explained - i love you bro 😭

[davidnatanael]

this guy is a legend to explain the ceiling, floor, sin, abs, etc

[BLUEGD]

How to remember floor or ceiling if you forget.
If you look down you see the floor so its down
If you look up you see the ceiling so its up

[Netheri-wr]

You explained everything PERFECTLY! 10/10

[vohongphuc]

Thank you so much❤ i can continue coding my game now

[V.Pustman]

is there a block that can find numbers beetwen to values? not the choose random one. one that for example:
IF /direction/ = number between /-157.5/ and /157.5/ set costume to / South/

[Winning_Smiler]

sorry, where's the power block/operation? i really need it but cannot find it

[Yume-AW]

THANK YOU!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT AN ABS IS!

Great, but here's the kicker: Where does an adult of visual disability who wants to make a mature-themed SCP Foundation horror game using this incredibly simple, visually clean and bold engine system, create and upload their game using Scratch that wouldn't immediately be TOS blocked by Scratch itself? Take the for-kids-only idea out of the equation when their disclaimer policy is to not discriminate based on age, and then make an engine that can only upload to their own website! Scratch is almost an unspoken-of scam amongst game engines, because although it's free, baring age and institutional values against open-public usage.

We must protect this guy at all costs🫡🫡🫡
