Hello, again :)

I am right now trying to create a decimal-hex, hex-decimal program on scratch, but there is one limitation stopping me. There is no power operator, well there is but it can only be the power of e and the power of 10, therefore I cant make this program. It would be helpfull if there was a block looked like this:
Would it be possible?

I'm surprised we don't have this already! It would make a great addition to the program - I definitely support. For now, you can just use something along the lines of this, where y is the number, x is the exponent, and z is the result:

Code:

set z to (1)
repeat (x)
  set z ((z) * (y))
end

That would effectively give you the result, but I admit your block would definitely be a lot better.

I do agree, that is a block that should be in scratch.

Here's a thread explaining how to do it, with other blocks smile
