Again, this is easily achievable by blocks. Please focus on something that is not achievable by blocks.

Good document.
but you did not follow the naming convention. Function name should be like UpperCase.

And all these functions can be done easily by native blocks, why bother to use a extension?

@Gordon_Lu
@Kevinkun
I already edited the naming of block in the aix file
is there are any other problems
you can check it in the file

I used it to reduce the number of blocks in the procedure of making this calculation

7

then modify block image of the document in first post.

Unless if it is complicated (like Saj's List extension) or for organization purposes (packaging a lot of functions into an extension), there's no such need for test extensions. Like your previous extensions, please focus on something not achievable by blocks.

ok, I understand I will take your advice in my mind,
I am just a beginner at creating extensions.
thank @Gordon_Lu

over all this is source code :
