Of course, this would be boring, except is it sort-of indicative of many paradoxes, political divides, oxford commas, and such.

Commutative operations are interpreted left to right, saying it's undefined is just as wrong as saying the answer is 1; the answer is 9 and there's no way around it.

Commutative operations are interpreted left to right

Generally, but not always, and it only matters when implemented on finite hardware, otherwise the result should stay the same.

saying it's undefined is just as wrong

I'm saying there's ambiguity in how you parse the text in the image, you blind idiot.

The unambiguous option would be "6 ÷ 2 × (1 + 2)".

The text in the image might be interpreted as "6 ÷ (2 × (1 + 2))" or as nonsense.

division is commutative

1 divided by 2 is the same as 2 divided by 1

Being so retarded that you need to call others retards so much you misinterpret a line and don't read the next one:

6 / 2 * 3 = 6 * 3 / 2

i'm a nigger. don't know division comes first. thank goodness i don't build anything that needs engineering math

division comes first

Nigger calling others niggers.

I do build stuff that needs engineering math.

See:

6 / 2 * 3 = 6 * 3 / 2

And, since I engineer stuff involving math, I can tell you to open your browser console and try it for yourself:

2 * 21023 / 21023

2 / 21023 * 21023

Guess which will return what.

If division should come first, they should return the same value even on finite hardware.

If multiplication and division are done in whatever order they are written (because of commutativeness it shouldn't matter), the finite hardware can cause them to be different.

Seriously, this thread is so full of idiots it's obscene.

In case you can't guess what is supposed to be there:

2 * 21023 / 21023

2 / 21023 * 21023

Seriously, the nature of division is difficult to implement in CPU as a logical operation and needs numerical approximation because it is simply the question of X/Y = Z but to calculate Z the logic involved is really add Y to Y and count until >X then subtract 1 to find Z and do Y*Z - X to find remainder.
