The add () to () block is a stack block and a list block. The block adds an item containing the given text onto the end of the specified list.
Example Uses
In many projects, lists continuously record variables; the record consists of the variable's current value continuously being added to the list. For the list to add more to its record, items need to be added; this block can do the job.
Some common uses for the add () to () block are:
- Adding information to a record-keeping list
When I receive [game end v] add (score) to [previous scores v]
- Adding a message to a display
ask [What would you like to post?] and wait add (answer) to [dialog v]
- Submitting objects into a list
when green flag clicked
forever
if < <key (space v) pressed?> and < touching (apple v)? > > then
if < not < [fruits v] contains [apple] > > then
add [apple] to [fruits v]
end
wait until < not < key (space v) pressed? > >
end
end
- Artificially "creating" variables with code (rather than manually)
Workaround
- Main article: List of Block Workarounds
This block can be replicated by manually inserting the block at the item at the end:
insert [item] at (length of [list v]) of [list v]
