Variables#

Introduction #

The Variables blocks in VEXcode GO allow for storing and managing data, including numbers, Boolean values, lists, and 2D lists.

To make a variables blocks appear you must first create a variable. Variables are created using the Make buttons in the Variables category. All variables are global by default, meaning they can be used anywhere in the project.

Below is a list of available blocks:

Numeric Variables - Store and modify numbers.

numeric variable – Returns the value of a numeric variable.
set numeric variable – Assigns a value to a numeric variable.
change numeric variable – Increases or decreases a numeric variable by a set amount.

Boolean Variables – Store True or False values.

Boolean variable – Returns the value of a Boolean variable.
set Boolean variable – Assigns a True or False value to a Boolean variable.

Lists – Store and manage collections of values.

list item – Returns a value from a list based on its position.
replace list item – Updates a specific item in a list.
set list items – Assigns values to a list.
length of list – Returns the number of items in a list.

2D Lists – Store and manage collection of values in a grid.

2D list item – Returns a value from a specific row and column in a 2D list.
replace 2D list item – Updates a specific item in a 2D list.
set 2D list items – Assigns values to a 2D list.
length of 2D list – Returns the number of rows or columns in a 2D list.
