To all the people yelling PEMDAS and BOMBDAS or whatever - languages other than English exist.

Was anyone else ever taught it as BOMDAS as opposed to BODMAS?

[–] Jayve@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (6 children)

There's no difference.

Addition and subtraction are the same operation, multiplication and division are the same operation.

So:

BO(MD)(AS) == BO(DM)(AS)

EDIT: in order to stop confusing people, it should just be: BOMA.

It was BEDMAS for us, where the E was exponents or something.
