Description

The new "online?" block added to Scratch proved that Scratch IS willing to add new blocks.

So can we please have an exponent block?
There are countless reasons for why it should be added, which you can find if you read through this topic

It's a block that has no particularly easy or simple workarounds, and it would be amazing if it could be added, or the suggestion at least considered instead of ignored.
