What type of block coding allows you to show numbers, icons, and strings in addition to starting, pausing, and looping?
A. Sound Blocks
B. Display Blocks
C. Control Blocks
D. Variable Blocks
What is...
B. Display Blocks
Display blocks are used in block-based coding environments (like micro:bit, MakeCode, or Scratch extensions) to show information on a screen, such as numbers, icons, or text strings. These blocks often work in combination with control blocks to start, pause, or loop the display actions. While sound blocks handle audio, and variable blocks store data, only display blocks visually output information on a screen or LED grid.
