in editor

this would do it in code

I see that this is meant to be for organization?

That is really the only use I can think of for this. In most cases in programming, you'd define your variables before everything else anyways.

Other blocks too:

set variable name [name] to [0]::variables

change variable name [name] by (1)::variables

Edit: I'm not sure if he is active, but can the creator of the topic add this to the top (or sth like this)

wouldn't that just be these though?

change [ v] by (0)

set [ v] to []

You can't insert reporters there, and these would be used alongside the blocks in the original post. Did you read the original post??

I think we should differentiate between predetermined variables (regular variables in the editor right now) and disposable variables (mentioned here) (I want a better name than disposable). Predetermined variables are the ones that use the regular variable blocks, and the disposable variables are the ones can be created and deleted in the middle of programs mentioned here. Also, cloud variables should not be able to be disposable variables.

I do this with a list called “names” and one called “values”. To create a variable, add the name to “names” and add 0 to values. To set a variable use:

replace item (item # of (name) in [names v]) of [values v] with (new value)

And to get a variable do:

(item (item # of (name) in [names v]) of [values v] :: list)

So, after considering all of this, I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY SUPPORT! Maybe change the terminology a bit, but other than that great suggestion.

There could also be set/change variable blocks considering those exist for variables currently, as I stated above for change.
