Re: Math suggestions

The ST usually prefers that a suggestion have an actual suggestion to discuss and refine, rather than a general thread to suggest things on. If you have any ideas for math functions to add, we'd love to hear them, but as of right now this thread has no real purpose.  hmm

I think using
3.141592653589793238
and
2.718281828
is precise enough...

Re: Math suggestions

a button that mathematically reads your mind and does all of the mathematics you need to complete your project; then proclaims "That was easy!" like the staples easy button.

Re: Math suggestions

Having an x^y block would be useful  smile
Of course, there's the repeat block and logarithm methods, but the former takes more time to do and the latter might be confusing to some...
