Did not mean to be offensive with last comment.. i found this a bit confusing ..the language in your project notes and the method of obtaining the result.. i was shown a different method to do this.
Which comment? I certainly do not want to be offensive in Scratch. I know the regular method is different but if you practice this method a little you can do double digit multiplication in your head.
(view all replies)probably easier to use a normal calculator.
This s doing it in your head. You can do it many different ways and this is just one of them.
I think it’s a matter of language but “move the decimal to the right” is the same as “move the decimal point (or comma) to the left”, isn’t it ?
You are correct I should have said to the left I will correct it thanks
