It's also pretty handy, and could have some quirky uses, along with adding a possible stack block to the operators tab, and a very unique block! It also has a linking system like comments, which points to the parent arrow.

You need to elaborate further. What do you mean by manipulating data records and linking systems?

I just want to know what the BLOCK means. I dont understand "Arrow (variable) -> (a)"
And whats the line for?

-> is an ARROW, and the linking system is in the image

What is the meaning for the arrow? And what is the purpose for linking?

Frenzyboyz33

this is why.

also, Scratch is partially JS

What does that have to do with anything? I kinda need to know what the block does!

finished the other designs, here's them all.

->
=>
<-
<=

it manipulates variable data, without changing the variable, and can be used multiple times.
The linking system is to avoid confusion (I said that earlier)

Oh! I understand now. You can have a variable with multiple outputs?
Interesting…

Frenzyboyz33

the arrow is to mark which arrow is being used

Yeah, that's practically true

Frenzyboyz33

I also think the arrow function & Operator is underrated due to it never being in block coding yet.

even BYOB doesn't have this! yet is SO useful.

That doesn’t help if we don’t know what it does!

Frenzyboyz33

again, I have said it multiple times

see?

JavaScript has this, and Scratch 3 is built off JS

“Scratch 3.0 is a completely new JavaScript-based codebase made up of multiple components such as ”Scratch-GUI,“ now based on a library from Blockly, ”Scratch-VM,“ which interprets code, and ”Scratch-Render,“ the rendering engine. The Scratch Blocks are made using Blockly.” -Wikipedia

so it's possibly simple to add in.

The. What’s the point? Just use if blocks?
Or I don’t even know because this is confusing for me (someone who knows c+)

i dont even understand what the little white arrows mean
why are there two
why is it pointing to the first input
why are the sides sometimes curvy and sometimesp ointy

it's to indicate between
->
=>
<-
and <=

it's quite literally just the -> statement
