I'm stating the existing rules.
I don't even know what you mean by that. We have the acronyms as a reminder of the rules, as I already said.
If you know that then how did you get 2-2+2=-2?
Yes you do - left associativity. i.e. there's no brackets.
Only the first term following a division goes in the denominator - left associativity.
I didn't. You said it was a convention, and I corrected you that it's a rule.
addition first
2-2+2=4-2=2
subtraction first
2-2+2=-2+2+2=-2+4=2
left to right
2-2+2=0+2=2
3 different orders, all the same answer
