I have answered 2 queries in the last week which are all to do with users trying to use the change variable by block with a number in the default variable string value:
This is also a common issue for my students, and while it’s a good opportunity to discuss datatypes I do wonder whether the set variable block and set cospace property blocks should have a number value by default.
A good argument for this is that the number datatype causes zero confusion - it’s absolutely a number.
I’d be interested in hearing thoughts from others on this. @Nikolay @Stefan @afmcdnl
