Can someone tell me what these blocks mean?
([abs v] of (9))
([floor v] of (9))
([ceiling v] of (9))
([ln v] of (9))
([log v] of (9))

abs: makes a negative value positive. 0 or positive stay unaltered.

floor: rounds a number downwards. 1.5 becomes 1. -1.5 becomes -2.

ceiling: rounds a number upwards. 1.5 becomes 2. -1.5 becomes -1.

ln: natural logarithm. If you don't know what this means already speak to your maths teacher.

log: decimal logarithm. Again, ask your teacher. I could explain but I don't know what level of maths you understand already so something like this is much better explained in an interactive conversation.
