Rename (length of list) to (number of items in list)

1492864

I am suggesting to rename

 (length of [ v] :: list)

to

(number of items in [ v] :: list)

because

(length of [list v]::list)

can be confused with

(length of (list ::list))

and they are not the same thing.

i agree, sometimes i mess them up, very rarely.

but other people may find this confusing as well so even though it's not a problem to me it could be for other people

That' Joaovtor,
Ever wanted to make a multi-player game over cloud?? here's an easy to follow toolkit!
Here's a complicated project i made

change [ Complicated projects] by (1)
realize [They're too complicated] for (2) secs
create another project
delete this project

There variable/list blocks should be like

set ( v) to []

instead of

set [ v] to []

Every list has a label stating its length on the monitor on the stage, so I'm fairly certain pretty much everyone will figure out that the length of list block reports that attribute.

Green and red are literally on the opposite sides of the color spectrum. The only potential use I could see for this is removing some confusion, but we still have two blocks called “() of ()”. Do you want those renamed as well?

Rename these?

([sin v] of ())
([ v] of ( v))

Yes to remove confusion.

I don't know any confusion that exists between those two blocks, but what would you rename those blocks to?

Nevermind. I don't want to rename them.
