Blocks
The editor is separated into multiple BLOCKS. These blocks can be used to perform separate, related calculations. Each block can have a single output, which is the returned value from the block.
All blocks share the same global scope, meaning variables, functions, etc defined in a block are available to subsequent blocks.
