Could we please have an exponents block?

Right there in operators with the other math blocks:

( ) + ( )
( ) - ( )
( ) / ( )
( ) * ( )
( ) ^ ( ) <———

It can't take more than a few seconds to add, can't it?

It also isn't a reporter block

Is it possible to hack a reporter block?

It used to be somewhat possible. Then it was fixed. You would just put %(something) in a variable but I forgot how it worked or if it did anything at all.

but while you are at it, add a square root block.

There is already one in there.

That doesn't work with negatives.

And if there wasn't, do (x)^(0.5)

There is a workaround.
I'll try to express it without scratchblocks.

(10 ^ ) of (log(2) * (10))
where you're finding 2^10

Square roots: (and any roots)

(10 ^) of (log(8) / (3))
where you're finding the cube root of 8

obviously these do not work with exponents or roots of zero.

anyway I still +1 this block

+100! This seems so simple, yet essential.

it doesn't need to be

you still get the number you need.

Yeah, true.

But I still can't wait until custom reporters.

That's because negative numbers don't have real square roots and Scratch doesn't support complex numbers.
Disregard this post, I thought you said the sqrt block didn't work with negatives (probably thought you were quoting the post above yours)

Yeah… I wasn't sure what the relationship of Natural Log and e was. But I thought it was something with square roots because of what you said.

Lol. I could've just done this.
