  • Your obviously is only a convention and not everyone agree with that. Not even all peogramming languages or calculators.

    If you wanted obviously, it would have to have different order or parentheses or both. Of course everything in math is convention but I mean more obvious.

    2+2*4 is obvious with PEDMAS, but hardy obvious to common people

    2+(2*4) is more obvious to common people

    2*4+2 is even more obvious to people not good with math. I would say this is the preferred form.

    (2*4)+2 doesn’t really add more to it, it just emphasises it more, but unnecessarily.
