The order, in mathematics, of precedence of operations:
Brackets, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
So 3 + (3 *
4)
Often used as a dumbed down version of
PEMDAS. Quite widely used in the
British OCR GCSE mathematics course.
Very much different to ordered precedence, whereby the equation is processed in order of writing.
Using BODMAS, 3 + 8 * 2 = 19
Using ordered precedence, 3 + 8 * 2 =
22
This can be
fixed using brackets, (3 + 8) * 2 =
22
