Is there anyone who wants this block?

I feel like this block would be very useful for some projects with some math formulas
… how about

(() ^ ())

(() !)

Continue discussing an exponent block here.

I think these are bitwise operators. If so, no support because it's too complicated for most kids to understand

But since he included ()! block in his suggestion, I think it is a bitwise operator.

There are sin, tan, and cos options, among other things, that children won't know, but they're included anyway. I feel that these blocks could also be implemented.

Yeah, those are actually more confusing than the suggested blocks in my opinion.

As doey guy said, there is already an exponent block topic. However, a factorial block…

I see no use for it, but someone somewhere may.

The sin and cos is actually quite useful in moving in a certain direction. Individually instead of steps.

It could also be a factorial block

Ngn5

it should go in the “abs of ()” block, imo.

([factorial v] of (5)::operators) // this returns 120, because 120 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5

it's essentially the same as..

((5) * ((4) * ((3) * ((2) * (1)))))

…but more compact.

Yeah factorial though using this block is a bit confusing…

((Yay)!)

yeah I don't think people will know that does something not just funny ! mark at the end

Maybe a gamma function would work better than a factorial. They are the same thing with a different notation, and it also accepts decimals and negative numbers. A factorial might be confusing, like “hey why can’t I find 4.5!” But a gamma function solves that.

After all, we have to avoid syntax errors if we can.

what even is gamma
