                            In Scratch, each number is equal to 1 step  of the sprite on the stage. In the
                            turn block, change the degree from 15 to 90.                                     FACT

                               VARIABLES IN SCRATCH

                      Variables are used to hold information such as words or numbers. Variables are named locations

                      where you can store information. We can create variables for one or for all the sprites.

                      GLOBAL VARIABLES

                      If a variable is created, to be used and modified by all the sprites, then it is known as a global
                      variable. A Global variable can be created on any sprite but its value can be accessed or modified
                      by other sprites used in the project.

                      LOCAL VARIABLES

                      Local variables can only be accessed or modified from the sprite where it was created.

                      CREATING A VARIABLE

                       To create a variable, follow the given steps:

                                                                                           4  Select whether the block
                                                                  2  Click on Make a       is ‘For all sprites’ or ‘For this
                                                                 Variable.
                                                                                           sprite only’.

                                                                  3   Type a name
                                                                  in  New variable
                                                                  name box.

                              1  Click on the Variables Block.                                5  Click on OK button.

                                  SENSING BLOCKS

                      Sensing blocks give answers when asked a question. Sensing blocks are colour-coded with a
                      light-blue shade and are used to detect different sprites and elements of a project including the
                      edge of the stage. They control the movement of the sprite in a better manner. The table given
                      below outlines the code blocks that fit into this category:
