Add an exponent block please.

[redspacecat]

The new "online?" block added to Scratch proved that Scratch IS willing to add new blocks.

So can we please have an exponent block?
There are countless reasons for why it should be added, which you can find if you read through this topic

It's a block that has no particularly easy or simple workarounds, and it would be amazing if it could be added, or the suggestion at least considered instead of ignored.

I would personally argue this is pretty simple.

I've started work on the block, and it should be finished soon.

this is honestly kinda genius, making the suggestions straight in the github repo since they are never gonna get attention buried in the forums for the past like 14 years

They're probably still just going to get ignored here 🙁

The funniest part is that it's not even that hard to make a new block, especially one that's already very similar to another.

In my mod, I added the greater than or equal blocks and the less than or equal block, and it only took me a week because it was my first time adding a block to the codebase so I had to get around it. But now It would take me like 30 minutes If I had to redo it. It's literally just copying the code for the greater than and less than blocks and changing them to the already existing JavaScript >= and <= comparators. The Scratch Team engineers who are definitely more experienced than me (just a random high schooler) definitely know how to do it.

_{maybe they'll make them membership only blo-}

I’ve already wrote the code and made a PR adding the block, so all the Scratch Team has to do is just merge it, they don’t even have to write the code.
