Reporter Blocks
Reporter blocks can hold values, which consist of numbers or strings. If
you ask, “What is 3 + 3 ?”, it will answer “6”. They have rounded edges.
C Blocks
As the name suggests, C blocks are C shaped. They are also known CONDITIONAL BLOCKS IN SCRATCH
as Wrap blocks. These are loop blocks to check if a condition is
true in the blocks within the loop. The C blocks are present in the
Control blocks category.
CAP Blocks
The blocks that end scripts are known as CAP blocks. They have a
notch at the top and a flat bottom. They are usually the last blocks 81
in the script. They are also present in the Control blocks category.
Sensing Blocks
Sensing blocks in Scratch sense the input from the keyboard or the mouse at the
time of execution of a script. Some of the sensing blocks and their functions are given
below:
• block prompts the user to type the input using the keyboard.
It waits for the user's input. No other block runs at that time.
• block checks if the sprite touches the mouse-pointer, another
sprite, or the edge. If the answer is true, then it executes the blocks given
after it in the condition. If false, then it executes other blocks as per the given
condition.
• block checks if the sprite is touching the colour chosen in the block.
If true, then it executes a set of blocks, else executes another set of blocks.
• The block checks if the first chosen colour is touching the
second chosen colour. If true, then it executes a set of blocks, else executes
another set of blocks.
• block checks if the chosen key is pressed by the user. If true,
then it executes a set of blocks, else executes another set of blocks.
