[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 3258986, member: 8119"] Interesting. I haven't ever heard of BEDMAS/BODMAS before. For others to read: (Per wikipedia page) [LIST] [*]In the United States, the acronym [I][B]PEMDAS[/B][/I] is common. It stands for [I]P[/I]arentheses, [I]E[/I]xponents, [I]M[/I]ultiplication/[I]D[/I]ivision, [I]A[/I]ddition/[I]S[/I]ubtraction. PEMDAS is often expanded to the mnemonic "[B]Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally[/B]".[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations#cite_note-Ball_1978-5'][5][/URL] [*]Canada and New Zealand use [I][B]BEDMAS[/B][/I], standing for [I]B[/I]rackets, [I]E[/I]xponents, [I]D[/I]ivision/[I]M[/I]ultiplication, [I]A[/I]ddition/[I]S[/I]ubtraction. [*]Most common in the UK, India, Bangladesh and Australia[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations#cite_note-11'][10][/URL] and some other English-speaking countries are [I][B]BODMAS[/B][/I] meaning [I]B[/I]rackets, [I]O[/I]rder, [I]D[/I]ivision/[I]M[/I]ultiplication, [I]A[/I]ddition/[I]S[/I]ubtraction. Nigeria and some other West African countries also use BODMAS.

[/LIST] PEMDAS/BEDMAS/BODMAS/BIDMAS. Geez - as if international language barriers wasn't bad enough - now we can't even agree how to do international math! Now - You young punks get off my lawn!!!!
