Sure, not much different from any other STEM topic. Less intense math required and an allowance of more creativity, imo. My advice: just try and find a programming problem you think is fun and just...

Hey op, this is not very helpful...but..just like nearly everything in life: you must practice to get better at a skill. I just finished my master's in comp sci. It gets more...

i got yo back

yup lol

its ambiguous.
the answer can be either 2 or 288.
thus rendering the algebraic expression ambiguous.

haha yea.

this is why this idea of implicit multiplication as a rule of precedence is used in some textbooks and calculators, and others it is not.

yes, I did.
the idea in question---and the reason why some calculators or textbooks get 2 while others get 288 is because of this distributive property and implicit multiplication.
notice:
...

so if some calculators get "2" but some get "288" what makes you confident 288 is correct and 2 is incorrect?
I believe the problem is ambiguous, seeing as how 2 correct answers can be returned from...

Well there is nothing on that wiki page even discussing implicit multiplication.
Textbooks address implicit multiplication differently, just like Dr. Peterson of that math forum says.

You can see...

agreed bro

this is not an 'unrelated' problem, seeing as how both problems are addressing this same issue of implicit multiplication.

different textbooks, even different calculators, use different rules when...

yea bro, haha.
I think perhaps simply because people are unaware. They have no wrong intentions. except for the trolls.
b/c...even textbooks differ on this. some promote this implicit...

yea bro, except it would actually be written like this
48/[2(9+3)] =2

lold

I went with '2' because I had been taught to use implicit multiplication in my textbooks growing up.
I'm a CS/Math major now, and probably will get my doctorate in this later. or at least masters.
...

with the way it is written, it can equal both.
for 2, you use implicit multiplication that many math textbooks promote. and some calculators use.
for 288, you disregard this rule.

there is no...
