The multiplicaiton order

[Farabi]

I got this piece of code

Code Select Expand


dibs.dsBmih.biSize+dibs.dsBmih.biClrUsed*sizeof(RGBQUAD)


How should I multiply it?

Code Select Expand


(dibs.dsBmih.biClrUsed*sizeof(RGBQUAD))+dibs.dsBmih.biSize


Or

Code Select Expand


(dibs.dsBmih.biSize+dibs.dsBmih.biClrUsed)*sizeof(RGBQUAD)


[oex]

dibs.dsBmih.biClrUsed*sizeof(RGBQUAD)

+

dibs.dsBmih.biSize

Always multiplication first unless brackets

[Astro]

Brackets
Exponents
Roots
Division
Multiplication
Addition
Subtraction

If in doubt, bracket it out!  :U  Force your intention.

Best regards,
Robin.

The last two are actually

Multiplication and division, left to right
Addition and subtraction, left to right
