@glynwolf@tiggi.es Eh? I kinda agree with the critter downthread who says the actual math doesn't define this and it's purely notation conventions.
18 ÷ 3 x 2 is in fact ambiguous unless you have a precedence rule telling you what exactly it's supposed to mean (and to be fair, there often is).

@IceWolf@masto.brightfur.net Did you read the explanation thread? I think it's very clear but I had to read it a few times before I grokked it. My post is just a teaser, not the full explanation.
