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?
Until now, it did not occur to me that there are some who believe multiplication and addition come before division and subtraction, respectively. Order of operations clickbait arguments make a bit more “sense” now.
