They're actually wrong though.

There's 4 levels to PEMDAS, not 6.

  1. Parenthese
  2. Exponent
  3. Multiplication or Division
  4. Addition or Substraction

Like @[email protected] mentioned:

PEMDAS should be read as Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division, Addition and Subtraction. There are four levels of priority, not six.
