Orders.

Brackets, Orders (powers and roots), Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction

Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction

This is fucking so many people over... It should be limited - like Orders - to only Multiplication and Addition.

Because division is the same operation as multiplication, and subtraction is the same operation as addition, and they have the same "weight" in the order of operations (meaning, you do them left-to-right).

Another commenter mentioned something similar, how they're interchangeable, but I'm not sure why you say it's fucking people over.

Because the people who learn "DM" or "MD" then spend hours online arguing that you must do one before the other.

People do be arguing, lol
