Carry out multiplication and division stages before the addition and subtraction stages. Also most important: to check to see whether the answer is reasonable? Personally I never used BODMAS or other"words" which were supposed to tell you how to proceed. My method was to be logical.
yes
order of operations
You memorize the rules that are considered standard.
If you change the order of operations, you will get a different result. The person who wrote the expression had a specific order of operations in mind (using generally-accepted rules), so arbitrarily using some other order of operations is, quite simply, wrong.
The various operations within the expression are carried out using the order of operations: BIDMAS (UK) or PEMDAS (US).
Yes, the order in which you perform operations in a numerical expression does matter due to the rules of operator precedence. According to these rules, operations are performed in a specific order: parentheses first, followed by exponents, then multiplication and division from left to right, and finally addition and subtraction from left to right. Failing to follow this order can lead to different results for the same expression. Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to these rules to ensure accurate calculations.
There are different rules for different operations.

what is a special set of rules that gives the order in which calculations are done to solve a problem
The order of operations :)
It doesn't come from anyone direct a group of people made up the rules
