parenthesis

there should be a parenthesis block in scratch for more complicated math equations that require parentheses...

Re: parenthesis

I believe that Scratch math blocks behave just like "parenthesized" math should; Just imagine that the rounded corners of the blocks are parentheses and nest as you would "on paper", Scratch will work as you would expect it to, obeying the rules of multiply or divide before add or subtract...

Re: parenthesis

EdnaC is correct, but it is often quite difficult to see where the implicit parentheses are, as the green-on-green blocks make for very little contrast.
