The Item () of () block is a List block and a Reporter block. The block reports the value of the specified entry in a specified list.

Example Uses

When a certain item in a list must be recalled, this block can be used.

Some common uses for the Item () of () block:

• Reporting an object

ask [Which item would you like on our menu today?] and wait
change [cost v] by (item (answer) of [food costs v])
say (join (join [We'll be making your ](item (answer) of [food names v]))[ in a minute.])

• Recalling part of a record

ask [What highscore would you like to know?] and wait
say (join (join (join [Highscore ](answer))[ is: ])(item (answer) of [highscores v]))

• Comparing different items

if <(item (1 v) of [collection v]) = (item (1 v) of [pack v])> then
say [I already have this item in my pack.] for (3) secs

Workaround

Main article: List of Block Workarounds

The text options of this block can be worked around by dropping Reporter blocks into the dropdown-value menu.

Random

(item (random v) of [list v])

chooses a random item in the list. Thus, it can be replicated with the following code:

(item (pick random (1) to (length of [list v])) of [list v])

This also gives the ability to use lists as a workaround for the Pick Random () to () block.

Last

"Last" gives the last item of the selected list.

(item (last v) of [list v]

Its replica is:

(item (length of [list v]) of [list v])//only if length of list > 0
