HIDDEN uses for blocks?

I've thought of an answer, but I'll keep this open (unless someone tells me it should be closed)

That's cool!

And probably the ST wanted us to discover something.

No, I didn't “hack” those blocks, it works in any project. Make your own project and try it.

I knew what you meant.

EDIT: You said “HIDDEN” and asked the question “Is this intentional?”

You mean putting those blocks in boolean slots? That's a bug.

This is probably not intentional, because the “if” block is supposed to accept booleans. However, putting input blocks in booleans is.

I have something about it here.

I don't think it's a bug. They probably won't fix it because that is actually how most coding languages work! The only one they might fix is number 5 in this project.

It is a bug. Either all reporters or none of them should go in boolean slots.

I think it's intentional. The item # of () in list block acts like a () exists in list? block. How is that not intentional?
I just came up with an answer. But I still want it to be kept open……

No, I don't think so. It returns false even if the item exists but equals 0, false or is empty.

The second one is probably intentional. The first one might not be.

If you don't want to scroll, it's here. I do agree though, to both

However, I find it fascinating that an actual variable reporter block (with the same values as a list element) can not be placed in the If block boolean test location.
