Only way to get 1 is to violate left to right on multiplication and division
Actually the only way to get 16 is to ignore one of more rules of Maths - sometimes it's Terms, sometimes it's The Distributive Law, but always something. If you follow all the rules of Maths you get 1.
2+2 first because P. That’s 4.
P is 2(2+2)=(2x2+2x2)=(4+4)=8
Then 8/2 because it’s left of 4(4).
If you do 8/2 when you still have brackets, then you just did division before brackets and disobeyed order of operations rules. You also broke the rule of Terms, since 2(4) is a single term.
Don’t take my word for it.
I see you didn't read my thread then. I have a section on calculators, which points out that WolframAlpha does it wrong. i.e. they also break the rule of Terms.
Read the damn article.
Read it. Was even worse than I was expecting! Did you not notice that a blog about the alleged ambiguity in order of operations actually disobeyed order of operations in a deliberately ambiguous example? I wrote 5 fact check posts about it starting here - you're welcome.
Let me know if you ever decide to read the article instead of arguing against an imagined opponent
Read it, wasn't imagined. In fact it was even worse than I thought it would be!

It's totally clear. It's a number divided by a factorised term, as per The Distributive Law and Terms.
It's the first, as per The Distributive Law and Terms. It could only ever be the second if the 6/2 was in brackets. i.e. (6/2)(1+2).
Indeed it was already solved more than 100 years ago. The issue isn't that it's "ambiguous" - it isn't - it's that people have forgotten what they were taught (students don't get this wrong - only adults). i.e. The Distributive Law and Terms.
I finally fixed up the MAUI/VS upgrade issues, recloned, added my code back in one part at a time, and the bug came back so I've now narrowed down where the issue is - it happens when I try to use a HorizontalStackLayout in my TitleView on Windows. This code absolutely was working in 8.0.3, and still works on Android in 8.0.6. (I haven't tried 8.0.7 yet cos I wanted to keep everything exactly the same as before whilst I added code back in seeing if the issue came back). Anyone have any ideas about this one?

It's not at all like building a separate app. All the back-end code is identical - all you have to do is make the mobile version not take up as much screen-space, and that's not much work. e.g. on desktop I use icon and text, but on mobile icon only.
Yeah, the wording isn't clear, and some people are talking about switches and some people are talking about buttons. I work with MAUI, and in MAUI a "ToggleButton" is called a Switch, so there's no confusion there, but the OP specifically said a button which toggles. i.e. a button which has 2 states instead of just one. A play button which turns into a pause button when you press it and vice-versa. I think the OP may have been confused between switches and buttons themselves - which are indeed labelled in opposite ways to each other (switch - current state, button - state that it will cause to happen when pressed) - which led to the question.
Yes, Exponents is the 2nd-highest precedence (after Brackets) - BEDMAS.
