• because it does not need brackets, period

    It does if you want to get the answer to (2+3)/2 and not 2+3/2

    It can equivalently express the operations of an algebraic equation which has brackets

    There you go. Glad you finally worked it out 😂

    implies those brackets

    says person who just said it does 🙄

    They’re just not there

    Just like the + is “not there” in 3-2 🙄

    Getting the right answer does not require secret translation to the one notation you understand

    No, it requires obeying the rules 🙄

      The answer to 2 2 3 + / does not involve brackets. Brackets aren’t real. Don’t you know all equations are secretly RPN, in the background? There’s only a stack, and the rules for a stack are that brackets do not work.

      • The answer to 2 2 3 + / does not involve brackets.

        (2+3)/2

        No they aren’t liar. They are broken down into binary trees. I teach Computer Science as well dude.

        Here’s the binary tree for 2 2 3 + /

        Here’s the binary tree for (2+3)/2

        Oh look! it’s the exact same tree! Who woulda thought. Oh yeah, me - I’ve only been telling you that the whole damn time 😂

        There’s only a stack,

        Yep, that’s where things in brackets get put alright - see binary tree above😂

        the rules for a stack are that brackets do not work

        Except I just proved they do 😂

          (2+3)/2

          What is this irrelevant equation? We’re talking about 2 2 3 + /. There’s no tree, just a stack. Do you not know what words mean?

            You don’t know how to read infix notation?? THAT explains a LOT! 🤣🤣🤣

            Yep, exact same equation - see the binary tree 🙄

            Ok, so now you’re admitting to not knowing how programming works either. Got it.

            Do you not know what words mean?

            You clearly don’t! 🤣🤣🤣

              A stack isn’t a tree, dingus! 2 2 3 + / has no parentheses, get your eyes checked. 2 3 + gets resolved when it happens, not based on some entirely different convention you have to translate to so you can figure out addition.

              • A stack isn’t a tree

                That’s right. Welcome to you’ve been wrong all along.

                2 2 3 + / has no parentheses,

                (2+3)/2

                get your eyes checked.

                You think the binary trees look different?? It’s you who needs to get your eyes checked! 🤣🤣🤣

                2 3 + gets resolved when it happens

                Due to being in brackets, as per the binary tree for the 2 different notations for the same expression.
