I’m not sure why. Given that exponentiation is conventionally denoted by 
placement, e.g.

     b + c
    a

there cannot possibly be any ambiguity about how the binding is supposed 
to work. Unlike, for example, this case:

    a ÷ b(c + d)

versus

    a ÷ b × (c + d)

I think you underestimate the ability of schoolkids to get things wrong!
ab² could easily be misinterpreted as (ab)².

It is relevant, e.g. in  4^3^2  which is  4^(3^2)  and not  (4^3)^2
(when "placement" is the representation in writings), and in computer
formulas it's anyway relevant when everything is on one line.

I just noticed that my newsreader (and probably also other newsreaders)
replaced the expression partially and might obfuscate the point I made.

The expressions were:  4 caret 4 caret 2
and:  4 caret ( 4 caret 2 )
and:  ( 4 caret 4 ) caret 2

where "caret" is meant to be the exponentiation operator.

That has to do with left- versus right-associativity, not operator 
precedence as such. After all, an operator has the same precedence as 
itself.

I quite believe that /some/ British schools teach "Bodmas" or "Bidmas", 
or other such acronyms.  All I can say confidently is it was not taught 
in any school /I/ attended.  So it is not something that was standard 
curriculum in British schools, at least at the time I was at school.

Of course, there are big differences between the curriculums in Scotland 
and the other bits of the UK which follow the English school system.

In a well-written paper, it should not be an issue.  People simply don't 
write things like "a / b * c" unless it is laid out in a totally 
unambiguous manner (or parentheses are added).

What audience are you writing for that knows that "*" means
multiplication but won't understand "a = b + c * d;"?

Anyone who either thinks that the rule to to apply the operations in 
sequence from left to right, or thinks that the writer may be using this 
rule, or who thinks that if you enter the expression into a calculator, 
the calculator is always right.

I should really have written a  conventional multiplication symbol. * 
means "footnote".

Or someone who was last employed in 1985, working in Smalltalk.

1970s calculators might have been too crude to use precedence. But Casio 
calculator now will give you 14 if you enter '2 + 3 x 4'. Any calculator 
app will do so. Even Google will give you 14 if you enter that.

Very few expect it to be 20.

Oh you are right. I pushed it into the calculator that ships with my 
Mac, and it is 14. It did use to be 20 for that type of calculator.

The one I had at school would have answered 20. But I seldom used 
calculators after leaving school. They can't do the sums you have to do 
at university.

Even the shell does it properly:

$ echo $(( 2 + 3 * 4 ))
14

Desktop calcualtors meant for accountants, where 'plus-equals' is a

Certainly very confusing for C programmers ...

We probably should fall back to calculators (and interfaces) with
RPN input; this solves not only the precedence "problem" but also
the parenthesis "problem". :-)

FORTH, we now in program shall.

I can't remember the precedence relationships beyond a few very 
conventional and well known ones. I don't see that as a strength. But it 
does mean that I am forced to use parentheses where it might not be 
strictly necessary.

No need to. This is why we have documentation. Keep it handy, and don’t be 
ashamed to refer to it often, even in the presence of colleagues.

Agreed.  Fill your brain with useful things, rather than things that you 
rarely need and can easily look up.  Or in the case of precedence for 
the less commonly used operators, use parentheses or break expressions 
into parts.  Extra local variables are free.

And use good tools, such as an IDE that gives you suggestions and 
auto-completion.  Some people are dyslexic - a tool that helps you spell 
your identifiers correctly, or tells you the name of function parameters 
when you type a function name (so you can get the order right) saves you 
effort and lets you concentrate on the important things.

auto-completion doesn’t really take you far, though. My favourite example 
is how many times people write “sqrt(x * x + y * y)” to compute a 
hypotenuse, not realizing that there is a “hypot(x, y)” function available 
in any reasonable maths library.
