Can you answer this ?

Solve this if you think Mathematics is directly related to Programming 😀

PEMDAS is the Order of operations taught in my grade school.
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction.

PEMDAS or BODMAS?

Great! Thanks for explaining this

6 ÷ 2(1 + 2)
= 6 ÷ 2(3)
= 6 ÷ 6
= 1

Exact answer but only confusion is the application of PEMDAS vs BODMAS

[Shrihan]

There are many others: BIDMAS, PEDMAS, etc. This article gives a detailed comparison between the two, and that, all the methods are not rules, it's just like a convention: slate.com/technology/2013/03/faceb...

You can argue for both 9 or 1 equally but I think 1 looks more natural here
6 ÷ 2(1 + 2) = 1
Although 9 looks more natural (or not 😕) when expressed like this:
6 ÷ 2 x (1 + 2) = 9
And if (1+2) was replaced with a variable y having value 3, 1 looks more natural again
6 ÷ 2y = 1

6/2(1+2)
=6/2*3
=3*3
=9
Done Using BODMAS(Bracket Of Divsion Multiplication Addition Subtraction) Rule.

Ofcourse itll be but have you tried solving this using PEMDAS?

[Debaditya Malakar]

Actually I don't know PEDMAS
