PEMDAS
parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.
Thatâs how I remember it.

I learned BOMDAS
brackets, of, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction
The next year I learned BODMAS instead, which was initially confusing but introduced the idea that the exact order can be a bit variable, as long as you do the multiplication/division bits first.

I vaguely remember BIDMAS, but my brain wasnât braining that day, so I donât really remember it

See, I learned Bomdas first, then was informed it was wrong and to use PEMDAS. I have no idea which one is the correct one anymore.
