Hrmm.

I read that as resulting in 21.

My education system did fail me.

I plugged that into ghci as 2+5*(8-5), and it says 17.

:(

I did (2+5)*(8-5).

Doh.

[Edit: (Double doh! Mistyped that here as 5+2. XD)]

You do parenthesis first and then multiplications and then sums, you did parenthesis, then sums, then multiplications, wich is wrong.

There aren't any, only Addition and Brackets (and Subtraction inside Brackets)
