Could we please have an exponents block? ( ) ^ ( )

bump, also this would be nice with this:

[] ^ []::operators reporter

[] √ []::operators reporter

[] ^^ []::operators reporter//<--- What I want

thanks ^-^

Cool, but workaround if you mean something like 1²

define power of (number) (small number)
repeat ((small number) - (1))
set [result v] to ((number) * (number))
end

it doesn't work with decimals

I support this. Exponents are a very important part of math and putting them in scratch would help more people learn how to use them (while also making the lives of scratch users easier).

I Will support until it is added.

repeat until <not <(kumquat) > [0]>>
delete kumquat.
end

This code does not update what “number” is, meaning it can only set result to number squared. Something more along the lines of the following would allow it to work properly (this did take some workshopping, but for every integer greater than or equal to 0 it works as it should)

define (number1) ^ (number2)
set [result v] to (1)
repeat (number2)
  set [result v] to ((result) * (number1))
end

There's a chance that it would look like this instead:

(() ** () :: operators)

I think it's more likeley to look like this:

((2) ^ (5) ::operators)

+5, this is a good idea and has a pretty confusing workaround.

Yeah. There's a workaround that works for decimals with

([10^ v] of ()::operators)

this block, but it's very complicated.

But it is extremely limited! We do need a () ^ () block!!
