What are Floor and Ceiling? Difference between Broadcast and Custom Blocks?
If you go to Operators, down to the functions block, there are “floor” and “ceiling” in its options. Does anyone know what these are used for? Plus, I'd also like to know the difference between broadcasting and custom blocks is.
Any and all posts appreciated.

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

Okay, that makes sense.

Custom blocks only count for a sprite (meaning you can't run a block on one Sprite on another Sprite), but can be atomicized and have inputs
yeah, I'm still here
