Scratch Programming II — Question 7

Data blocks let us create and manipulate data in our animations and games. We can create two types of data: variables and lists. These can be used with sprites and with the stage.

When we specify the name of a variable, we can also specify if the variable is a local variable or a global variable. Once the variable is created, it is available through the Data block and the commands used to manipulate the variable are also available in the Data block.
