that the negative sign is not an arithmetic operator... the substract/minus sign is, but not the negative sign (what is that.. like unary or something?)
in programming terms, - is an overloaded operator
just a guess, i don't even know if it is true (but my guess is yes)

ok i'm a dumbass
well still it equals 49
ROFL....damn, you beat me to it....::mumble mumble 49 mumble mumble::

You are correct.

You are correct.
You don't need a 0 to specify the sign of a number, negative numbers are perfectly valid.
If you'd like, I can re-write it as:
-(6 / (1-(5/4))) = 24

okay now i'm thinking that the guy replied to your post, as well as the guy from above (with the 0) at the same time.

i don't mean to be a prick, but -6 is not the same as 6. he was saying it would only work if it was 0-6 since you can only use 6 and not -6.

The negative sign is not an arithmatic operator, so you can't use -6. If he specified a 0, you could use 0-6 since the minus sign is an arithmatic operator.
This is the jam right here...
Viper- I think they got you on a technicallity. Negative numbers aren't the same as positive numbers. -6 is a different number than 6, and the - sign is not an operator, so it isn't the same thing as the subtraction operator (-).

And I am.
These kinds of problems don't explicitly allow you to use anything that's not a given, i.e. unaries. And the OP gives only *arithmetic* operators.TRENDING THREADS
