Can someone show me how to use the conditional function block? Please show me an example. I’m a bit curious about it and think I might actually need to use it as well. Thank you!!

here are two quick examples. try to read them aloud from top to bottom. this is how they make the most sense. not just looking at it.

@hhuman Do you mean this block?

![assets_-LAn5scXl2uqUJUOqkJo_-LAn5wecEraNWaG7Ig2g_-LAn671z1nUi5mqLoxZG_blocks-function-✕-fig-3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/2/0290133a90fb46ef763bf7e406bbae8cec5ee834.png)

I’m not sure how to use that and can’t find any examples online. It seems redundant when there is already an if/then block but maybe it’s just easier?

Yes, this is the block I meant. Couldn’t find any examples either… The strange thing is that when you put it inside a function, the return side disappears…

Yes, thanks for chiming in anyways. Maybe your examples are meant for me in the future?
