this seems like a floating point moment. probably, anything greater than that number you have found will actually be represented as 550, and that and anything smaller than it will be represented as some number slightly smaller than 550. if you wrote the numbers in binary, it'd be the difference between 1000100101.1111...110 and 1000100101.1111...111. i think.

i assume that's what's going on anyway. it might be something completely unrelated

troubling, perhaps ui/uxment should occur somewhat. i feel like the buttons might be the wrong way round but i am not sure

ubq323 #2032

yeah, i feel like 6/2(1+2) is sort of like, intentionally ambiguous in a way? like, if you meant (6/2)*(1+2) then you'd write (6/2)(1+2) or 6/2 (1+2) or something, and if you meant 6/(2(1+2)) you'd write it 6/(2(1+2)) or 6 / 2(1+2) or

   6  
------
2(1+2)

etc. what i mean is that whichever of the two interpretations you intended, you would write it in a way that makes it obvious that that one is the one that you mean, but the form in the question has been written in a way that isn't obviously either one, which makes it seem somewhat artificial somehow, idk. wow that was a long sentence

extremely based

i do not want something client side (apioforum has 0 javascript whatsoever and i quite like this). i think the markdown library we're using has support for (serverside) latex which just needs to be enabled, but i will have to check.

"evaluate it from left to right" is a misconception, that's what I'm saying.

ubq323 (edited ) #2020

pemdas (or bidmas or whatever you want to call it) doesn't provide an answer here, that's a common misconception. the question as it is stated is ambiguous.

and in any case, if it was written using actual notation and not weird asciified notation, it'd be either

 6
--- (1 + 2)
 2 

or

  6
------
2(1+2)

and there wouldn't be any ambiguity. the ambiguity comes from squishing the equation onto one line.

(i think)

ubq323 #2017

hmmmm apioforum latex support when

ubq323 #2015

why would you do this

ubq323 #2014

is that (6/2)(1+2) or 6/(2(1+2))

ubq323 #2008

try it and see

!!!!!!!

(i wonder if urls should automatically become links. you can put <> around them to make a link or use markdown []() or whatever it is syntax)

ubq323 #1950

do you have a link to your interpreter?

ubq323 #1945

to avoid having to scrape html which sounds unfun

ubq323 #1944

a non-web client would be quite cool. some kind of api would be useful for that

ubq323 #1938

for some value of "usable"

ubq323 #1929

i am posting this from the netsurf browser. apioforum is surprisingly fairly usable in netsurf, despite not being tested on it before

hmm what if apioforum johnvertisements
