Case Sensitive Equals Block

Coder24

This is a pretty straight-forward suggestion. Scratch is definitely missing case sensitive functionality even though it is still possible with a lot of complicated code. This would really make things like encoders and decoders a lot more simple and comprehensive.

Thanks,

I'm not going to support, but I also can't say no support…

Support; how about:

<[Aa] is exactly [Aa] :: operators>

Then semi-support.

Is this a joke? Because he literally states it would make Cloud Listing easier!?

Total support for the exactly operator

Support for this, alongside the current

<[] = []>

block.

Support for updating the equals block or add the exactly block.

This. What happens with numbers, though?

Hm. I think that exact, number-for-number copies should be true, but stuff like <01 is exactly 1> would be false.

We already have an “equals” block, so adding a new one would if useless. I also don't understand, are you asking for something like this?

<caps lock on?::sensing>

That's not at all what we're suggesting. Here, I'll explain. You know how the current equals block isn't case sensitive? For example…

<[A] = [a]> //This reports as true, even though the letters are different cases.

<[Goodbye] = [goodBye]>//This also reports as true.

We're suggesting a block like the equals block, except it would be case sensitive-

<[A] is exactly [a]::operators>//Would report as false because the case doesn't match.

<[Goodbye] is exactly [goodBye]::operators>//Would also report as false.

<[Goodbye] is exactly [Goodbye]::operators>//Would report as true because the case matches.

Support to add a new block, no support to update the existing one because it would break existing projects.

Semi-support. It could be workarounded, like you said, but can also help. How about next to each string, a switch for case sensitive?

umm… there is no workaround, i support.

Actually there is, but it's kinda complicated. Try searching for it.

Support!

I ran into this while building a game which will help my students learn to type passwords correctly…

Pezd

I support the

<[] is exactely []:: operators>

block. Although I definitely do not support the updating of the

<[] = []>

block. Mabye a block like this could work.

<letter () of [] is [ v]:: operators>

And the pulldown contains ‘uppercase’ and ‘lowercase.’

miniepicness

I support the exactly, nowhere near supporting updating the equals though
