(round ()) block change

Elijah999999

I use the round block a lot, and I don't want to have to change the dropdown every time I use that block.

The abs block wasn't used as much as the round block, so it got combined into the () of () block. However, the round block is very widely used, so I think it deserves its own block.

What about it defaults to round instead of abs, and abs (), sin (), round () etc. You don’t need the of at all

And how would it ruin scripts?

When the forever if and the original abs blocks were removed, scripts with them didn't stop working, as the forever if loop turned into the workaround, and the abs block functioned the same as before.

I don't really know the difference between

(round ())

and

([round v] ())::operators

However, I do want this:

(round () to the nearest [10 v])::operators

(Yes, I know abt TWG who said I couldn't want it)

Also, maybe an input instead of a dropdown?

so this:

(round () to nearest ())

ok but it's gonna be 1 and 0 only bc there's no such thing as round to the nearest .5

No, it does exist. For example, 0.2 rounded to the nearest 0.5 is 0, while 0.3 rounded to the nearest 0.5 is 0.5.
Also, what do you mean only 1 and 0?? Wouldn't nearest 10, 100, etc work??

i meant numbers made of ones and zeros

([round v] of ()::operators)
(round () to the nearest ()::operators)
