Block Suggestion: ( )^( )
So during school today I learned about an amazing formula, which required the exponent 2^x. As soon as I learned about the formula, I knew that I had to remake it in Scratch. However, I was surprised to find that the only exponent choices were 10^x and e^x.
It would be very beneficial of the block x^y was created. The block would look like this:
There are definitely workarounds, like
However, the workaround is bulky, and hard to implement into large equations, which is why the x^y block would be a truly useful addition as a block.
It would be very beneficial of the block x^y was created. The block would look like this:
(() ^ () :: operators)
There are definitely workarounds, like
repeat (y)
set [number v] to ((x) * (x))
end
However, the workaround is bulky, and hard to implement into large equations, which is why the x^y block would be a truly useful addition as a block.

Yes, this would be very helpful, along with a factorial block. ( ! ) So during school today I learned about an amazing formula, which required the exponent 2^x.

There are definitely workarounds, likerepeat (y)
set [number v] to ((x) * (x))
end

Support, even though it has been suggested countless times.
Use
(() ^ () :: operators)
to make the block green.
thanks

Kinda support, although this workaround isn't too hard-
define (Number1) ^(Number2)
set [Output v] to (Number1)
repeat (Number2)
set [Output v] to ((Output) * (Number1))
end
when this block is clicked::sensing hat//FYI, this is my old account that I no longer use. My current account is @DaSpudLord.If you are reading this… Then congratulations! You have found the part of my signature that was eaten by a kumquat! (On a side note, you are probably in a kumquat's stomach.) Now get out of the kumquat's stomach and go do something productive with your life. Like playing this game over and over again. Very productive.
forever {do (a [scratch v]::events ring)::sound}::extension cstart
say [what the...?] in (the language of [the moon people v]::red)::control
create [spontaneous v] explosion in [a flea's stomach]::motion
That's not right...::cend

Surper surpport!
Three things i dislike:
1. Lists
2. Signatures
4. Irony
5. When people say they only are going to say 3 things then say 4.

We really need this block, because you can't do the repeat thing for floats. I already suggested blocks like this, this is similar (don't get me wrong, this is not a duplicate).
Joke of the century: Just made a good remix of this with Scratch's music extension.

Support.
Why not implement this? There are way less-commonly used formulas on Scratch like abs() and cos() but this hasn't been implemented. I find it very fun to play around with high numbers in programming, and I can imagine me using this quite a lot. This could also be really useful for complex projects, which I think is obvious.

And it's still not fixed, so it's more important then ever! Guys please stop necroposting this was made in 2015

It's not necroposting if you are actually adding to the conversation. Guys please stop necroposting this was made in 2015
Also, I would support! Although there is a pretty simple workaround that @Paddle2See made, I would definitely find this useful.
