  Adults who have forgotten the rules who I work with and read/write code where it’s important

  And as a consequence of that, MathGPT is the only e-calc which gives correct answers to order of operations! 😂

  This is like some pure maths vs real life engineering cliché

  It’s a Correct Maths vs. Programmers who have forgotten the rules cliche

  You’re either being deliberately obtuse or you’re painfully naive

  Neither, I’m a Maths teacher

    I like and respect teachers, but I’m a software developer and I’m telling you that adding extra parenthesis often adds clarity and makes the whole process smoother. You exist in a whole other context that has norms and assumptions that do not apply to what I’m talking about.

    You being technically correct is irrelevant.

      I’m a software developer

      So am I

      adding extra parenthesis often adds clarity

      Everyone I’ve seen add Brackets to it has done so in the WRONG place and given WRONG answers. Again this is an issue of programmers not checking the rules of Maths

      that do not apply to what I’m talking about

      The rules of Maths always apply to all Maths

        You’re not listening to me and I don’t think you’re worth listening to. Go away. Goodbye.
