It's all down to how the original string is interpreted. I'm just going to put this out there and suggest that from the original statement, there is ambiguity. I.e. it's open to interpretation. And that for a definitive mathematical answer, you simply need to remove the ambiguity. Write it so there is no way it can be interpreted in more than one way.

Exactly! Two different interpretations of the same original equation string.

When I went to school, we were taught maths is all logic, but yet your "interpreting" it different.

No, he said he put the equation in office and it returned 2, I'm curious how the same version of office can resolve two different answers.

Argh! I give up. You just don't (or can't) understand.

LOL, You crack me up. What am I not understanding? 1+1 = 2

NO, you're wrong!! There is actually an invisible set of brackets making the equasion this:

1(+1) = 1
