Always has been.

Just wait for the annual "PEDMAS vs PEMDAS" ~~discussion~~ flame-war on any major social media platform.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 3 points 2 years ago

"Pedmas" sounds like a holiday for pedophiles...

End of debate.

Why? Not sure what the debate is, if you divide/multiply first?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It can matter if you don't have enough significant figures, so I tend to do division last to preserve as much precision as I can. In theory it shouldn't matter, but it can matter in practice.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So the debate is whether it could or could not matter?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, the debate is stupid.

I'm just saying there is a situation where it could matter, not that the debate is valid.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, I'm still trying to figure out what the debate is. Sorry mate, but thanks for trying to respond, I appreciate you having tried. I'm just missing something.
