It is known as precedence. Anything in brackets is done first. Anything with power of is done next, like squaring or cubing values. Multiplications and Divisions are done next. As the have equal precedence they are done from left to right. Finally addition and subtractions are done. They also have equal precedence, so they are done from left to right. A simple way of remembering is to use the acronym BOMDAS for

Brackets

power Of

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction.

As multiplication and division have equal precedence, you can also think of it as BODMAS.

What software allows users to perform calculations on rows and columns of data?

electronic spreadsheetThe specialised software for this is a 'spreadsheet', probably the most common such software these days is Microsoft Excel. Where most of the data is numbers, then it is best to use a spreadsheet. A database is also capable of doing these calculations, and if calculations are based on text, like you were counting how many different department names there are in a company, a database is better. Most word-processing software also allows a table of rows and columns to be defined in a document and the same sort of calculations can then be carried out within the table, though this would be rarely used for anything more than very simple calculations, and most word processor users would not even be aware that you can do calculations in a word processing table.


Why is rounding important?

Because it enables calculations to be carried out quickly.


What is the sequence in which the operations will need to be carried out?

Operations are almost always carried out in the order of their importance to the task at hand.


The order in which calculations are performed is called?

The order in which calculations are performed is called the "order of operations." This set of rules dictates the sequence in which different mathematical operations should be carried out to ensure accurate results. The common acronym to remember this order is PEMDAS, which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), and Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

Why do you call a CPU a CPU?

What are the advantages of spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet is, in it's most basic form, a large calculator. It's purpose is to perform both simple & complex mathematical calculations. Spreadsheets are extremely powerful and are used for 'number crunching' - (calculations on lots of figures) and also allow mathematical formulae to be applied. A good example of spreadsheet use would be to calculate sales profits for the current year which need to be presented in a graph. The range of formulae that can be applied is vast and ranging from the most basic (adding two numbers together) to complex calculations such as applying 'what if' scenarios. The spreadsheet should not be confused with a database (although it has limited database functionality) and should not be used to store mailing lists or other data records - this is a common mistake (see above the reference to somebody using a spreadsheet to create a resume). The sheet itself is comprised of columns (vertical) and rows (horizontal) which are in turn, made up of cells. It can be used for keeping small business accounting records if the company does not generate enough revenue to warrant the cost of accounting software. In short: the main advantage of a spreadsheet is when complex mathematical calculations need to be carried out on large amounts of numerical data. It's a powerful, complex calculator.

Where is the information in DNA and rna carried?

The information in DNA is carried in its sequence of nucleotides, which form genes that encode for proteins and regulate cellular functions. In RNA, the information is carried in a single-stranded molecule that is transcribed from DNA and includes messages for protein synthesis.

What is the electronic spread sheet?

(computer science) A type of computer software for performing mathematical computations on numbers arranged in rows and columns, in which the numbers can depend on the values in other rows and columns, allowing large numbers of calculations to be carried out simultaneously.Source: Answer.com
