BIDMAS 7
Introduction
Bidmas rules
Bidmas is an acronym that tells us the order of
operations when working out a calculation that has
multiple parts
S Subtraction -
Calculation using BIDMAS.
Below are three examples of applying BIDMAS to
calculations using a range of operators
3 * (2+4)=
3 * (2+4)= 36-(10+2)*3 = (6+6) /3+8*(14-4)
Brackets
Brackets first first Brackets first =
3 *6 =318
*6 = 18 36-12*3 Brackets fist
36-(10+2)*3 = Then 12/3+8*10
irsBrackets
multiplication Then div and
36-12*3
Then multiplication
36 – 36 = 0 mult
36 – 36 = 0 4 + 80 =84
(6+6) /3+8*(14-4) =
Brackets fist
12/3+8*10
Then div and multiplication
4 + 80 =84
Considering BIDMAS when using Python
From the examples below you can type these calculations straight into
the python shell.
>>>3*2 + 4
10
>>>3*(2 + 4)
18
>>>36 – (10 + 2)*3
0
>>>(6 + 6) / 3 + 8* (14 – 4)
84
