minus-square💡𝚂𝗆𝖺𝗋𝗍𝗆𝖺𝗇 𝙰𝗉𝗉𝗌📱@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down2·1 month ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations isn’t a Maths textbook In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of conventions and rules 🙄 Haven’t even got past the first sentence you quoted and it’s already wrong These conventions Rules but some programming languages and calculators May disobey the rules and give wrong answers, like Texas Instruments calculators With math, you can invent your own notation if you like Yep, but you cannot invent your own rules 🙄 This is done often. No it isn’t. And if it makes sense, you can also change the order of operation No you can’t, or you get wrong answers, like Texas Instruments calculators The notation you learn in school is just a common one, but other notations are equally valid and can be useful But the rules are universal. You seem to be confusing notation with the rules Therefore this kind of question is not a pure math question Yes it is what kind of conventions or notations people want to use We can see for ourselves quite clearly what notation they have used. There’s no mystery or debate about it The context is what allows the math question to have a single answer The rules of Maths is what gives it a single answer - that’s what they’re for! 😂 The rules of math itself are much more fundamental and they don’t care about how people decided to write formulas down. Yep, one of which is The Distributive Law, a(b+c)=(ab+ac).
