Lab 3.4 (Option 1) - If My Calculations are Correct

In this lab, you will write custom reporter and predicate blocks to perform several useful calculations and computations.

Simple Computations

1. Write a custom reporter block called min that determines which of two numbers is smaller and reports that value. If the two numbers are equal, report either one.

   Example: should report 2

2. Write a custom reporter block called max that determines which of two numbers is larger and reports that value. If the two numbers are equal, report either one.

   Example: should report 4

3. Write a custom predicate block called between that determines if a number is between two other numbers. If the first number is equal to either of the other two numbers or is between them, the block should report "true".

   Example: should report true, because 4 is between 3 and 10

4. Write a custom predicate called _ has at least _ letters that determines whether a word has at least a specified number of letters.

   Example: should report true, because hello has at least 5 letters

5. Save your project as Lab3.4.

Challenge: Stepping Things Up

Write a custom reporter block called distance to that computes and reports the distance from a sprite's position to another point. Use the x position and y position blocks to determine the sprite's position. Remember that the formula for the distance between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is sqrt((y2-y1)^2+(x2-x1)^2).

Example: if your sprite is at (1,0), should report 5.
