This is a normal post I have NEVER been taught this and I've programmed computers too, and it all worked fine and as expected,
as has it in the physical world, I understand that when brackets are used that means that that part of the equation must be done first, BUT I was never taught that when maths is written in a sentence like that that it is not to be read as a series of instructions, but as a 'math language' which has rules of order of execution regardless of lack of brackets.

This is weird, how can I not have known this till forty fucking three!?

My school teachers must have been shite!

This is a normal post chances are the compiler for your programming language will have taken care of precedence for you?
It's odd for a maths teacher to forgot to teach this...

This is a normal post I can't believe you just tried to correct me on a retro issue.
I'm still right. The Sinclair BASIC language / OS was on an 8K ROM in the ZX81 (4K in the ZX80). Only the RAM size was 1K.

This is a normal post Oh stop it!
I'm still reeling from the sudden knowledge there's a language to math I never knew about till now!
