An Evaluate block

Hopscotch Language Evolution
1

A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is: evaluate block in the math section

So basically it outputs a solved version of the input
Maybe it can be called the solve block
Like if input is this text:
(5+5)*10
Then
Output = 100

I’d use it for this type of project:

A calculator lol

Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this:

A lot of them, like calculators and stuff you know

Here is an example design I’ve made:

[Set text (evaluate((self) formula)))]

I’ve seen something similar in another programming languages, it looks like this:

Nope, sadly

Wait and if the input is not math, it should output 0 or the input

That is true. I think an evaluate block would be a lot more convenient.

Also we would like HS to follow PEMDAS

Yes, that would automatically work as js uses pemdas

Because you would have to connect the correct blocks together in order for the code to multiply like you want.

Yes, but if brackets aren’t used pemdas will automatically followed because hs uses js and js uses pemdas
