I have seen several people saying the order operation is
- Brackets/Parenthesis
- Orders (roots and powers)
- Divisions
- Multiplications
- Subtractions
- Additions
But I was taught it as
- Brackets/Parenthesis
- Roots and powers, left to right (independently of the exact operation)
- Divisions and multiplications, left to right (independently of the exact operation)
- Subtractions and additions, left to right (independently of the exact operation)
So, what order were you taught and/or use today?
BEDMAS cuz all y’all “parentheses” people are way too hoity toity and they’re called Brackets, y’all
Brackets are squared [ ]
Parentheses are round ( )
Apparently, that’s American English. And for whatever reason, it’s the British that are less hoity toity about it:
