so after E everything has the same priority?

multiply and divide are of equal priority and addition and subtraction are of equal priority, but m/d come before a/s

No, they're in two pairs of multiplication/division and addition/subtraction. Multiplication and division have the same priority, which is higher than the priority shared by addition and subtraction.

For an example:
"2 + 6 / 2 * 2 / 3 - 4 + 2" is equivalent to (with colored matching parentheses for readability)
"((2 + (((6 / 2) * 2) / 3)) - 4) + 2"
which evaluates as
"((2 + ((3 * 2) / 3)) - 4) + 2"
"((2 + (6 / 3)) - 4) + 2"
"((2 + 2) - 4) + 2"
"(4 - 4) + 2"
"0 + 2"
2

oh wow, i had forgotten about that one

If you think about a negative sign as just being a "0 -," ie -4 becomes 0 - 4, then it's easy to remember.

You're destroying post potential.

If you think about a negative sign as just being a "0 -," ie -4 becomes 0 - 4, then it's easy to remember.

It's more accurate to consider it equivalent to "(-1) * " because instances like "4 * -2" can happen and, directly replacing with "0 -", would produce "4 * 0 - 2"

sudoroodo's explanation was enough
thanks though

That's sixth grade level math, son. Wake your brain up.
