~~Both output : 2 - 3 + 4 and 2 - (3 + 4) are correct but the first one is better because "minimize the use of parentheses". It seems to be good.~~

Update: MeowChow points something right !! I was dreaming when I read his post, forget it :)

Uh, no, addition and subtraction are left-to-right associative, which means that: `2 - 3 + 4 = -1 + 4 = 3 while 2 - (3 + 4) = 2 - 7 = -5` [download] MeowChow s aamecha.s a..a\u$&owag.print	[reply] [d/l]
