The game will calculate your equation according to rules of operator precedence ie PEMDAS/ BIDMAS/ BEDMAS common mnemonics:
-Parentheses (brackets) First
- Exponentiation - in future versions
- Multiplication / Division next
- Addition / Subtraction last
- When operators of equal precedence are next to each other (ie multiply/divide or add/subtract) then left to right precedence applies
eg
- 8x(7-5)=16 not 51
- 2x3+4 =10 not 14
- 5+6x4 =29 not 44
- 10-5+2 =7 not 3
- The game will clarify your answer according to above rules and show how the equation was calculated.
