parentheses allow operations of lower significance to occur first. Therefore, per your instructions, (3+2)*5 = 25; (3+2) = 5; (5)*5 = 25.

I really excited to learn java script because I don't have any knowledge in ServiceNow java scripting after seeing your videos hope I can also learn java script as simple

[ashupakasma]

You are super cool, Chuck. Hope now no one can stop me to learn JavaScript. And the answer is 3+2*5 is 13 OR (3+2)*5=25 . hope its correct 😂😛

Nice explanation Chuck. to answer your query 3+2*5 is 13 or (3+2)*5 is 25.

Just follow basic BODMAS rule to know execution of mathematical operations we've been taught in school.
B- Bracket ()
O- Orders of(sq. roots etc)
D- Division
M- Multiplication
A- Addition
S- Subtraction

That's how the execution will be followed. Happy coding :)

however with parenthesis we get (3+2)*5=25

[AbhishekPandey-pplz]

parenthesis take the precedence 🙃
3+2*5= 13 if (3+2)*5 =25

[vibhamadaan]

What is the external editor that you use?

[chinthalaramanjaneyulu]

as per your instructions (3+2)*5 = 25, 3+2*5 = 13,

[RACHIT]

var a = 3;
var b = 2;
gs.info((a+b)*5);

[narasimhulumunigolla]

var a= 3+2* 5;
gs.info(a); is 13 , ,,, and
var a= (3+2)* 5;
gs.info(a); is 25
