Depends on the language if "5(" gets interpreted as "5×(". I guess mostly no.

    No it doesn't.

    if “5(” gets interpreted as “5×(”. I guess mostly no

    Always no. The Distributive Law, a(b+c)=(ab+ac).

    You're talking math, I'm talking programming languages. We are not the same. Most languages throw a syntax error if the multiplication symbol is missing.

    I’m talking programming languages

    Written by people who forget the order of operations rules, hence MathGPT is the only e-calc which gives correct answers.

    We are not the same

    Yep, as well as being a programmer I'm also a Maths teacher

    Most languages throw a syntax error if the multiplication symbol is missing

    See first point
