What in the world is sqt?

And how do you use it? I heard it was for bouncing off stuff, but I could be wrong.

Re: What in the world is sqt?

Sqrt is short for square root, indicating that block takes the square root of the number. As far as I'm aware, it has nothing to do with bouncing, but it's often used to calculate distances between points and other related trigonometric calculations.

"sqt" Is short for "square root" Its function is to tell what number, multiplied by itself = the number you entered. for more information look at the Scratch Wiki article on the subject.
