Oh, lol! "Two", not "To". Anyway, -10 * -10 = 100. This proves it.

Re: Learn To Build Your Own Blocks - A Beginners Guide To BYOB
THAT was a hassle. I had to make the file into a .007, for the .007 at the end instead of .zip,cause it wasn't unzipping the file. But now I've got it! Thanks!

Re: Learn To Build Your Own Blocks - A Beginners Guide To BYOB
Guys!!! I saw the posts of the inverse block and I made my own version! It requires no scripts except everything you want to add will be in the report section. see for yourself:

I know -10 * -10 = 100. It was a typo.

Re: Learn To Build Your Own Blocks - A Beginners Guide To BYOB
Here are a few more ideas... ( I already made them, try to make them yourself. If you want help, I can post photos)
<Pointing in same direction as []>
<Pointing towards []>
( [] ^ () )
( []! )
< [] is what? >
( [] letters of [] )
c shaped
do _ for () seconds.

I did it a different method...
Can you share the do [] and [] block?
For the one who wanted help...
Which block?

Oh and I made the () ^ () block:
Then it has to report the result.

Re: Learn To Build Your Own Blocks - A Beginners Guide To BYOB
Easier way
TWo variable
base and power
10 ^ of (power) * log of (base)
And the method I used for do _ for [X] seconds was...
repeat 16*X
run _

The parentheses should look like this:
10 ^ (power * log of (base))
the reason this is better than the repeat (...) method is that it accepts fractional and negative numbers for the exponent.

Okay, that's better. Not that it's a big deal or anything, but it reports with a decimal. maybe you could put a (round () ) block in so it doesn't do that...

It's the inaccuracy of floating point numbers... sadly, only ten decimals. I think it's probably like (for example) 35.9999999999 or 36.0000000001 instead of 36. But this is sometimes good, such as the square root of two, or 2^(1/2), an irrational number.

It's impossible because computers can't store irrational numbers. They have a never-ending decimal, so they would take up an infinite amount of space.

Simple.... check if the length of the number is greater than 9. It won't help for numbers like 1.11111111111111111... but it is good enough.
Well, this isn't a true "irrational number" block because a number could equal 7.6543219876543218 and stop there, but it would still call it irrational, even though it's rational.

It's a difficult problem. What could you define as "irrational" that would have meaning in the world of computers? A number that exceeds the accuracy of the storage system? If you define it like that, it's truly impossible to make a block which tests that because we can't tell, through BYOB, when this occurs.

An irrational number is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal (not that anyone doesn't already know) Is there any way to tell this to BYOB?
