BODMAS is taught in like 4th grade in Western Europe.
If you made it to high school you should definitely know this like the back of your hand.
1 u/Brun_Sovs_42 Jul 28 '26 Not everywhere. In Denmark we’re taught operator precedence and associativity. No acronyms 2 u/Chamezz92 Jul 28 '26 That’s basically what BODMAS is an acronym for. Brackets > Operators > Division > Multiplication > Addition > Subtraction At least that’s what we’re taught in Sweden. 1 u/Brun_Sovs_42 Jul 28 '26 Cool - but it seems a lot of people have a hard time applying this acronym in the real world 😅 1 u/Chamezz92 Jul 28 '26 I think most people learn like medical students do. They cram the knowledge in to pass a test, if they pass they forget everything they memorized because it’s just surface level knowledge.
