    says person who doesn’t understand how apps work

    RPN is not an “app.”

    What do you think is behind the RPN calculators? A person?? 😂

    RPN is a NOTATION

    Yep, so is ALGEBRA 😂 The rules are independent of both

    That’s what the N is

    Yep, notation, not rules

    It is a completely different way of doing math!

    Nope! It’s only a different NOTATION - you just said that yourself! 😂

    It works on paper!

    So does Algebra - surprise, surprise, surprise 😂

    t is a syntax for performing calculations using a stack-based

    NOTATION

    There are no fucking parentheses - anywhere

    And I’m guessing you think there is no 1 anywhere in a+b, and there’s no + anywhere in 1-2

    Order of operations is implicit

    Which you could write explicitly with Brackets. 2 3 + 4 x = (2+3)x4

    completely different from the one thing you insist is both universal

    No it isn’t. 2 3 + 4 x gives the same answer as (2+3)x4, and 3 4 x 2 + gives the same answer as 2+3x4. Note that in the first example 2 3 + is effectively being bracketed, as otherwise you’d get a wrong answer by the order of operations rules

    Do you know anything that’s not in a textbook for children?

    Yep, everything in high school Maths textbooks 😂

      Distribution is “effectively” multiplication. Nothing you say, nothing you point to, could possibly change that, because they will always get the same answer, and if getting the right answer is all that makes two things the same, then shut the fuck up.

      • Distribution is “effectively” multiplication

        No it isn’t, it’s Brackets. a(b+c)=(ab+ac) <== Brackets Now solve (ab+ac), or do you think that (8-5) is subtraction and not brackets? 😂 It’s actually the reverse process to Factorising, whereas Multiplication is the reverse operation to Division - not even remotely the same thing.

        othing you say, nothing you point to, could possibly change that,

        says person ignoring Maths textbooks 😂

        because they will always get the same answer

        No they don’t! 😂 That’s why it’s a Law

        1/a(b+c)=1/(ab+ac)

        1/ax(b+c)=(b+c)/a

        Oops! (b+c) went from being in the denominator to being in the numerator, leading to WRONG ANSWER 😂 Welcome to why we have The Distributive Law

        if getting the right answer is all that makes two things the same

        No it isn’t, but that’s the first thing which has to happen. See previous point where they aren’t even the same answer, therefore one of them is wrong

        shut the fuck up

          Syntax is notation is rules, as it suits your ability to be smug at people.

          How did I let you rope me into honestly trying to get through to you? I called all of this from a mile off, you did exactly what I said while insisting you weren’t, and I’m still left desperately hoping some combination of words will work. It doesn’t matter what I write here; you’re just going to quote every sentence, respond “tExTbOoK!”, and pick a sneering emoji.

          I never should’ve edited what the first reply said in full:

          Fuck off.

            Gaslighters can’t gaslight Maths teachers about Maths. You should know that by now

            I called all of this from a mile off

            That you were going to ignore Maths textbooks? I called that too 😂

            you did exactly what I said

            Nope. You never said I was going to prove you wrong

            while insisting you weren’t

            I’ve been doing the same thing I always do - proving you wrong with Maths textbooks 😂

            respond “tExTbOoK!”

            The question is, why do you refuse to look in any?

            You never should’ve commented at all gaslighter

            Fuck off.
