    $5-0*3+9/3 =5-(0*3)+(9/3)$ as '*' has precedence over '-' and '+', '/' has precedence over '+'. $=>5-0*3+9/3 =5-0+3$2012-08-19

    Why don't you either learn how to type with latex in this site (pretty easy) or at least tray to separate the expressions to udnerstand what is it? Is it $\,5-0\times3+\frac{9}{3}\,$ , or perhaps $\,5-\frac{0\times 3+9}{3}\,$ , or $\,5-0\times\frac{3+9}{3}\,$ , or something else?2012-08-19

    @labbhattacharjee : To me it seems uncouth to write $0*3$ instead of $0\times3$ or $0\cdot3$. The only reason anyone ever used $*$ for that purpose is that when one is restricted to the characters on the keyboard and one wants to use x as the name of a variable in computer programs, one must use something else for $\times$. But we have $\TeX$ and we don't need to do that. It's like eating mashed potatoes with your fingers when silverware is available.2012-08-19

    @Serious, since this is your first question on math.SE, please don't take this question closure as a hostility against you (or new users), and don't get discouraged to post further questions. It's just that this site works better if we re-cycle and re-use existing questions and answers, and then tag/label duplicate questions & link them together.2012-08-19
