submitted by TotallyWorthLife to asklemmy 25 points | 27 comments 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?
