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.
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
Adults who have forgotten the rules who I work with and read/write code where it’s important. In the real world.
This is like some pure maths vs real life engineering cliché.
You’re either being deliberately obtuse or you’re painfully naive.
And as a consequence of that, MathGPT is the only e-calc which gives correct answers to order of operations! 😂
It’s a Correct Maths vs. Programmers who have forgotten the rules cliche
Neither, I’m a Maths teacher

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.
Says person refusing to look in Maths textbooks 🙄
