lilyNeema - Jul 19 - - Dev Community

In mathematics, solving complex expressions correctly requires following a specific order of operations. This order is commonly remembered by the acronym PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Understanding and applying PEMDAS ensures that calculations are performed accurately and consistently.

What is PEMDAS?
PEMDAS is a mnemonic that helps remember the sequence in which operations should be performed in a mathematical expression.

It is a fundamental concept in mathematics that ensures complex expressions are solved in a structured and consistent manner. By following the order of operations—Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction—you can avoid errors and achieve accurate results in your calculations. Remembering and applying PEMDAS will greatly enhance your problem-solving skills and mathematical accuracy.
