that was the point (why the sigh?), and reepca, yes - that was also the point 00:58:41 the_cuckoo: what, thinking that 2 is a function? 00:58:45 why would you think that? 01:28:49 --- quit: nal1 (Quit: WeeChat 1.4) 01:58:08 nah - it's a multiplication 01:58:37 exactly 01:59:10 the point being that 6 / 2 * ( 2 + 1 ) is generally evaluated incorrectly by people, but not by computers 02:00:12 in fix arithmetic rules require learning and remembering - and it's not always easy to see them 02:02:54 well yeah 02:03:02 because division is not commutative 02:05:09 indeed - but it's also the left right order which dictates the rule - thus / has the higher priority here - 6 / 2 == 3 multiplied by ( 2 + 1 ) gives you 9 02:06:08 just found it funny - i normally use the simpler 1 + 2 * 3 to see if people remember the basic rules (it's surprising how many people get it wrong... also, great party trick :D) 02:09:06 mmm 02:09:28 depends, I had one maths teacher at school who taught that multiplication is *always* first 02:09:48 and one that taught that multiplication and division are always first but have equal precedence so you do them in left-to-right order 02:10:15 hence Brackets Over Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction 02:23:13 --- quit: dys (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) 02:30:32 think it's BODMAS that you're looking for there :) 02:31:56 and we don't get to pick and choose -
