Gonna keep shouting until it sticks;
Put a goddamn function sign for the parenthesis. Don't assume everyone just knows what to do with the parenthesis alone. Fml it bugs me every time this meme gets posted.
Why should anyone do that, an implied multiplication is the normal thing you learn in (I think?) somewhere between 5th to 7th grade. You only add an operator if it's something else. It's as basic as PEMDAS.
There's no such thing. It's a Term/Product.
Yes, you learn that it's a Term/Product in Year 7
You never add an operator, or you end up with wrong answers.
Aaah, got it. So if I see something like "5-(2+4)" I will just remove the subtraction operator and call it a day. Smartman on the internet said so. π₯΄
Also casual reminder not everyone on the internet is a native english speaker. Everyone but you knew what was meant.
Nope. Never said anything of the sort.
No I didn't, but nice try at a strawman π
There is no such thing as "implied multiplication" in any language. They are called Terms/Products in whatever language that book is using.
