Soup was set.

Now it seems that there is loosely a two and half groups.
The ones that read one line expressions like computer (but adding hidden symbols, which compilers do not do)
The ones that read one line expression like it was a print paper.
The last half that try to deduct the right aproach from content or say directly that something is ambiqyous. (Most math. uni. Profs seems to be on this group, which is wise I must admit[/b].)

We were always taught that implied multiplication is still multiplication so it's treated the same as if the multiplication symbol is in there and is at the same priority level as division.
