Nice one lookagain!Mine's better:
8 / .1 + 4! - 6 = 98 ...no yukky brackets :roll:
Oh, you mean "yucky" brackets.
lookagain said:
\(\displaystyle (8*6 \ + \ 1)\sqrt{4} \ = 98\)
So, you're going to force a comparison between yours and mine about being "better,"
which is subjective anyway.
To the left of the equals sign in our equations, each of us used nine characters not including spaces.
I used (in no particular order) the 1) multiplication sign, 2) the addition sign, 3) the square root symbol,
and 4) the one pair of parentheses, which gets me a twofer for the grouping
and another for the
multiplication by the square root of four.
Contrast that with yours:
1) a division sign, 2) a decimal point, 3) an addition sign, 4) a factorial symbol, and 5) a subtraction sign
And two places in yours, a non-digit immediately follows another non-digit, that is, 1) and then 2), and then later
4) and then 5).
Whereas for me, just the square root symbol follows the close parenthesis.
Based on those criteria, yours squeaks out as being more complicated, but I won't ascribe the subjective word "better" to mine.
