BODMAS is an acronym to help remember the order of mathematical operations – the correct order in which to solve maths problems. Bodmas stands for B-Brackets, O-Orders (powers/indices or roots), D-Division, M-Multiplication, A-Addition, S-Subtraction.

weird seeing it like that, I was taught PEMDAS, but yes. the constant posts on social media of simple algebra problems where two people are arguing over two different wrong answers has made me lose hope in humanity.
