Entering the equation as =6/2(1+2) into a cell in a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet will result in Err:509 (Missing operator), Google Sheets also returns an error (Formula parse error). This forces the user to format the equation using explicit multiplication. To avoid the left to right problem in programming languages, the compiler must be instructed in advance to prepare for the function with an extra pair of parenthesis =6/(2*(1+2)).
