What you need then is to implement logic that limit the action of clicking the “.” key. Simply stated, if the value currently displayed does NOT contain a “.”, then the button can add one. If there is already a decimal point, the logic associated with the button is ignored. ---

If you pressed a button once, and on the screen the result looks like you pressed a button several times, then this is an error in your blocks.

A simple example. I press the button and the dot is shown only once. If I press the button 5 times, 1 points will appear.
