Hrmm.
I read that as resulting in 21.
My education system did fail me.
I plugged that into ghci as 2+5*(8-5), and it says 17.
:(
I did (2+5)*(8-5).
Doh.
[Edit: (Double doh! Mistyped that here as 5+2. XD)]
You do parenthesis first and then multiplications and then sums, you did parenthesis, then sums, then multiplications, wich is wrong.
You might want to report that error. Or, did you mean 2+5*(8-5)?
Oops! Typo. School failed me hard!
[Edit: Thanks. Corrected that.]
How far along in school are you btw?
The problem is you can't just add parenthesis willy nilly, that breaks the whole equation!
Well, it used to be a free country until common core and now this nonsense is the result. Numbers and punctuation mixed together. Pure chaos.
