We evaluate infix expression notation according to the precedence rules of the operators. multiplication and division have the same precedence, so do addition and subtraction... So by convention are evaluated from left to right.<br /><br />However, this has no bearing on how good at math you are. I typically use and invent my own order of operations. Identical mathematical statements can be represented in any other evaluation system. Infix notation is simply an agreed upon protocol for the transmission of mathematic expressions.<br /><br />I frequently use RPN to avoid such ambiguities.<br /><br />thus: 3 - 4 + 1<br />becomes: 3 4 - 1 +<br /><br />Push values onto the stack as encountered.<br /><br />Evaluate operators as encountered with the top of the variables on top of the stack, push the result onto the stack.<br /><br />Thus:<br /><br />3 4 - 1 +<br />1 (-1) +<br />0<br />^-- That's the answer folks. + and - have equal precedence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-55543535103589793972011-12-19T08:47:33.233-08:002011-12-19T08:47:33.233-08:00somewhat typically of xkcd, 992 is a good idea exe...somewhat typically of xkcd, 992 is a good idea executed terribly. if all the alternative mnemonics he thought up were actually *funny*, it would be a pretty good comic.<br /><br />unfortunately, only a few of them are funny - the zunes one and the last one (jesus). but by now i don't expect any more than that from randall. oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-21811339835531400462011-12-19T08:22:31.174-08:002011-12-19T08:22:31.174-08:00Right, but 7:41 impled that following BEDMAS would...Right, but 7:41 impled that following BEDMAS would give you the second (incorrect)statement while in fact the first statement follows BEDMAS. <br /><br />Its Brackets Exponents Multiplication Division in the order they appear and Addition/Subtract in the order they appearIannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-37496451892271449142011-12-19T07:55:25.614-08:002011-12-19T07:55:25.614-08:00also samefag/samefag/samefag is samefag and always...also samefag/samefag/samefag is samefag and always has been<br />samefag-samefag+samefag=(samefag-samefag)+samefag=-samefag+samefag=0<br />not samefag-samefag+samefag=samefag-(samefag+samefag)=samefag-samefag=-samefag<br />captcha:samefagsamefagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-72299255182337260222011-12-19T07:49:55.204-08:002011-12-19T07:49:55.204-08:007:47, MSc in mathematics here and 7:41 is correct....7:47, MSc in mathematics here and 7:41 is correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-50692155156850084302011-12-19T07:47:53.496-08:002011-12-19T07:47:53.496-08:007:41 that was the stupidest shit I ever read.
