This post provides a handy reference guide to go from Scratch’s “Operators” category of code blocks to C# with Unity.
Code Blocks
Click on the picture of any of these Scratch code blocks to see how to write similar code statements in C#.
int score = 5 + 6; // 11 int age = score + 1; // 12 int total = score + age; // 23 score += 1; // 12 score++; // 13
int score = 10 - 5; // 5 int age = score - 1; // 4 int total = score - age; // 1 score -= 1; // 4 score--; // 3
int score = 3 * 5; // 15 int age = score * 2; // 30 int total = score * age; // 450 score *= 3; // 45
int score = 10 / 3; // 3 double amount = 7.0 / 2.0; // 3.5 int total = score / score; // 1 score /= 3; // 1
int score = Random.Range(1, 11); // Could be one of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] float time = Random.Range(0f, 1f); // Could be any value between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (inclusive) float amount = Random.value; // Could be any value between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (inclusive)
bool result = 10 > 3; // true result = 3 > 10; // false
bool result = 10 < 3; // false result = 3 < 10; // true
bool result = 10 == 10; // true result = 10 == 3; // false
bool result = true && true; // true result = true && false; // false result = false && true; // false result = false && false; // false
bool result = true || true; // true result = true || false; // true result = false || true; // true result = false || false; // false
bool test = false; // false test = !test; // true
string name = "Jon" + " the great!"; // "Jon the great!" string firstName = "Jon"; string lastName = "Parham"; string fullName = string.Concat(firstName, " ", lastName); // "Jon Parham" string[] fruits = { "banana", "grape", "strawberry" }; string allFruits = string.Join(", ", fruits); // "banana, grape, strawberry"
string name = "Jon"; string firstLetter = name.Substring(0, 1); // "J" string secondLetter = name.Substring(1, 1); // "o" string lastTwoLetters = name.Substring(1, 2); // "on"
string fruit = "apple"; int letterCount = fruit.Length; // 5
string fruit = "apple"; bool test = fruit.Contains("a"); // true test = fruit.Contains("app"); // true test = fruit.Contains("b"); // false
int mod = 10 % 3; // 1
float result = Mathf.Round(3.2f); // 3 result = Mathf.Round(3.7f); // 4
float result = Mathf.Abs(-3f); // 3
float result = Mathf.Floor(3.7f); // 3
float result = Mathf.Ceil(3.3f); // 4
float result = Mathf.Sqrt(4f); // 2
float result = Mathf.Sin(4f); // -0.7568025
float result = Mathf.Cos(4f); // -0.6536436
float result = Mathf.Tan(4f); // 1.157821
float result = Mathf.Asin(0.5f); // 0.5235988
float result = Mathf.Acos(0.5f); // 1.047198
float result = Mathf.Atan(0.5f); // 0.4636476
float result = Mathf.Log10(100f); // 2
float e = (float)System.Math.E; float result = Mathf.Pow(e, 2); // 7.389056
float result = Mathf.Pow(10, 2); // 100
