Me searching the place for my old Ti83 after stumbling on this thread.

My partner: why are you even looking for this thing??

Me: Somebody on the Internet is WRONG.

My partner: Good enough, I’ll help!

That’s a keeper in my book.

I know, it’s good to have someone in your life with priorities.

I happened to have my ti-83 plus next to me. I got 16!

InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works@sh.itjust.works · 11 months ago

YES finally, some sense in here. 🤣

I ended up downloading a Ti-83 emulator because mine has been devoured by the magical house gremlins.

Then I admit I’m wrong, I just don’t get how PEMDAS/I got it wrong.

InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works@sh.itjust.works · 11 months ago

Short story, PEMDAS kinda sucks, because it has 4 levels of priority, but 6 letters:

M and D are the same level, priority is from left to right.
A and S are the same level, priority is from left to right.

Just tested this on a Ti-83 too.

8/2(2+2) = 16

My calculator gets 1. Weird.

My one big criticism of the Ti-83/84 is implicit multiplication. Ti says 1/2x is 0.5x when I needed the reciprocal of 2x.

I love you brought the TI truth lul
