More operator blocks

It would have the current operator blocks but it would look like this
<(number)[= v](number)::operators>
<(number)[> v](number)::operators>
<(number)[< v](number)::operators>
But it would also have these
<(number)[≠ v](number)::operators>
<(number)[≥ v](number)::operators>
<(number)[≤ v](number)::operators>
Also this
(()to the power of()::operators)
I know there are easy workarounds to the comparison blocks I suggested but there are a lot of blocks that have easy work arounds such as the forever blocks last backdrop block random backdrop block change variable by and change size by

More operator blocks

for the 5 and 6th blocks you can use
<<[number] > [number]> or <[number] = [number]>>

and

<<[number] < [number]> or <[number] = [number]>>

for the 4th block you can use

if <[number] = [number]> then 
do what you do


else

Even better:
<not <[number] < [number]>>
and
<not <[number] > [number]>>
for >= and <= respectively.

in my edited forum post I said that there are many blocks that have simple workarounds so I don’t see why you couldn’t t add these(btw I already new the workarounds I just think it would be nice to have)

The last three (!=, <=, >=) have such simple workarounds that I feel like implementing them removes some of the problem solving aspect of Scratch.

Anyways, in the suggestions forum we like to keep this nice and neat with only one topic for each suggestion. Your suggestions have all been suggested before, so feel free to leave your thoughts at the respective links below as this topic will be closed.
Greater/Less Than or Equal To - https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/21165

Not Equal To - https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/731066

Exponents - https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/2860

The first three blocks are definitely a duplicate as well but I am unable to find it.
Either way, please don't create lists of suggestions.

My suggestion was adding more math blocks the blocks I listed relate to that suggestion which is adding more math blocks and there fore a single suggestion and like I said there are many blocks with simple workarounds like the forever loop has
repeat (infinity)
end
and
repeat until <(1) = (2)::operators> 
end
the change variable by has the
[set variable to ((variable) - (2)::operators)]
or whatever you need to change it by
and the next costume block has
[switch costume to ((costume::looks) + (1)::operators)]::looks
so I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t add these and what about the exponent block there isn’t a simple
workaround for that so I don’t see anything wrong with this suggestion

Some of these are duplicates, so they already have a topic. You are welcome to create a topic for the specific ones with dropdowns until we find it's duplicate.

Please create a separate topic for each suggestion you have, rather than creating a list of suggestions. That way, the conversation stays focused and each idea can get the attention it needs.
