    Aaah, got it. So if I see something like “5-(2+4)” I will just remove the subtraction operator and call it a day. Smartman on the internet said so. 🥴

    Also casual reminder not everyone on the internet is a native english speaker. Everyone but you knew what was meant.

      Nope. Never said anything of the sort.

      No I didn’t, but nice try at a strawman 😂

      There is no such thing as “implied multiplication” in any language. They are called Terms/Products in whatever language that book is using.
