Yes. The default order of evaluating expressions is BODMAS/PEMDAS. To change that order, parts of the expression need to be put in brackets (parentheses). Yes.

So as to work out mathematical problems in the correct order of operations
You use BODMAS as the order of operations. BBrackets first OOrders (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.) DMDivision and Multiplication (left-to-right) ASAddition and Subtraction (left-to-right)
BODMAS describes the order in which arithmetic operations must be carried out. B = Brackets O = Order (power or index) D = Division M = Multiplication A = Addition S = Subtraction. So 2+3*4 is not to be calculated as 2+3 = 5 and 5*4 = 20 but 3*4 = 12 and 2+12 = 14 BODMAS requires that the multiplication is calculated before the addition.

There is only one difference between them The order of divsion is swapped around and yes i do Bodmas and i love it and hate the idiots who do Bomdas

BODMAS is the acronym that can be used to remember the order or operations.
i THINK THERE IS NO LOGIC BEHIND BODMAS RULE. IT IS JUST A CONVENTION.
It is used in evaluating almost all mathematical expressions. The only exceptions are ones which involve only addition and subtraction, or only multiplication and division, or are so trivial that the are expressed in BODMAS order.

It is the order of arithmetical operations and is known as BODMAS or BIDMAS meaning brackets, indices, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction
BODMAS is a mnenomic for helping remember the order for dealing with mathematical operators in a mathematic statement. First - brackets, then order (powers), then division, multiplication, addition and finally subtraction. Resolving an equation following this will give a different result than a random order. e.g. 3x1+4(8/2)=19 not 60 nor 28 nor anything else.
