> (((((3+4)*5)^2)/6)-3)*(1+2) > > Not exactly easy to read. In 4D this could be simplified to
3+4*5^2/6-3*(1+2) // but with the compiler bug is real then it would be (3+4*5)^2/6-3*(1+2) // this one 4D only has 2 rules of precedence () first then left to right. I didn't know about the compiler bug. I guess I don't use powers a lot in database applications. Either way in my opinion this is much easier to learn than C++ for example that has 16 levels of precedence.
