I suppose it's alright if you think that. The cash register does all of the math for you anyway at work, so you don't really need to know this.

Why are you getting so worked up and personal with the guy over a damn math question? God damn

 

[TheBeigeBomber]

you dont use brackets in the usa? you cant just put everything in one line. thats why 81 is on the list of answers.

You're the only who sounds emotional.

@TheBeigeBomber your trolling is quite funny.

Uhmn aye bruh can u do 1+1 for me real quick?

Wolfram Alpha strangely throws in brackets and interprets it as: 40 + (40 x 0) + 1. Therefore making it 41.

And I remember that programming languages like Python do this too. They break up equations into segments with brackets before answering them.

The answer you get depends on where the brackets are.
(40 + 40) x 0 + 1 = 1
40 + (40 x 0) + 1 = 41
40 + 40 x ( 0 + 1) = 80
