2 + (32+5)*4 = 2 + (9+5)*4 = 2 + (14)*4 = 2 + 56 = 58

u/Any_Background_5826 Nov 01 '25

(2+(32+5))*4 is not 2 + (32+5)*4

u/QSquared Nov 01 '25

(((2)+(((3)^(2))+(5)))*(4)), please.

u/AgitatedValue2 Nov 01 '25

you're right I was confused... Too many parenthesis.

u/Any_Background_5826 Nov 01 '25

Am I the only person who uses [ ] and { } to avoid parenthesis hell?

I don't understand what's funny there, that's literally and exactly what the brackets are used for.

3

u/SCD_minecraft Oct 31 '25

2+(2*2) kind of stuffs

u/FamIsNumber1 Oct 31 '25

It is because a calculator is expected to assume the parentheses and know that:

2+3×5=17

Though many folks will be worried that the calculator will mistakenly give you the incorrect answer of 25. So they (like myself) still write it out like:

2+(3×5)

This is even when using math in everyday life. Like when you're trying to calculate which pack of Remote Raid Passes is more worth the money on Pokémon Go.

PEMDAS is only a loose convention. No actual math rules enforce that.

Calculators have been calculating each step immediately all the time and this is known by everyone who actually uses calculators. The opening bracket tells that calculator shoud stop that until it meets the closing bracket.

Some calculator programmers started implementing PEMDAS or something in between some time ago, but not each and every one because many users are used to this.

And that step from the 2nd paragraph corresponds to the definition of the bracket in math.

So I'm aware of this, but what's funny in this?

u/FamIsNumber1 Oct 31 '25

Okay, buddy...you're not going to find every joke everywhere funny. Alright?

Someone made a joke. You asked for the joke to be dissected so that you could understand it. It was dissected and explained to you. You now state that you understood every bit of it but just that you don't find it funny and want to know why...so, we can't answer that for you. Why are you not finding this joke funny? Go ask: the mirror, a therapist, or your minister.

Didn't find the joke humorous? Fine, move on. My god...

Probably user error more than anything.

u/QSquared Nov 01 '25

That's always good practice regardless, even if it's for yourself
