Hi!

I was wondering about an idea for a new operator block that would be used for complex math.
It would look like this:

set mode to [degrees v] :: operators
//or
set mode to [radians v] :: operators
//and maybe
set mode to [grads v] :: operators

But that might be confusing, so maybe there could just be an option in the (of()) block like this:

([sin(d) v] of (x) :: operators)
([sin(r) v] of (x) :: operators)
([sin(g) v] of (x) :: operators)
...

It can be used for math formulas that require accuracy like this:

set mode to [radians v] :: operators
set [pi v] to (([atan v] of (1))*(4))
set [circumference v] to ((diameter)*(pi))
//or
set [pi v] to (([atan(r) v] of (1) :: operators)*(4))
set [circumference v] to ((diameter)*(pi))

Calculating with different options can help Scratch users make a larger variety of projects more easily.
I hope you consider adding this block Scratch Team

Support! There should also be a way to set the rotation system to the way it should be..

Good idea!

Support, I never learnt to use radians though, sounds interesting.

Bump…

Nah, no support. Too confusing

I think it would only be as hard to understand as the trig options on the

([atan v] of (9))

block.

Yeah, this is advanced math, that's probably why it's confusing.

Sounds intresting, so support

Hmm. Interesting. But how much do people really need it?

No support. Scratch uses degrees. Functions like the sin of 6 would be confusing.

CONVERSION:

x degrees = x degrees

x radians = (180/pi)x degrees

x gradians = 0.9x degrees

okay, thanks for the conversion!

No prob.

no support. if you're intelligent and educated enough to use radians you're competent enough to convert between degrees and radians.

Well, that's one way to put it

I guess so…

Support!

Or maybe, trigonometric blocks should have an extra drop down,

([atan v] of (1) [radians v] :: operators)
