Add biology meaning of operand? ~ Dpr

If anyone knows the meaning in biology or anywhere else, just go ahead and add them to the article. Thanks :-) --TuukkaH 19:04:47, 2005-09-07 (UTC)

That third thing

3 + 6 = 9 Here '+' is the operator and '3' and '6' are the operands.

And what is 9 called? Resultand? --Abdull (talk) 11:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Adbull. 9 is called the sum of the addend, 3 and 6.

An addend is any of a set of numbers to be added. (American Heritage Dictionary)

Okay. And generally, when not talking about addition but some general operation, what is the result of such generic operation called? Sum would not be appropriate in all cases. --Abdull (talk) 09:14, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that is completely wrong. 3 and 6 are the operands, + is the operator (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Operand.html). 74.167.252.158 (talk) 17:28, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed that whole first section. Seems out of place and is wrong (The first half anyways). 74.167.252.158 (talk) 17:30, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Order of operations

It seems a bit odd to me that this page has such a large section explaining the order of operations, when order of operations has its own article. Sophus Bie ^(talk) 05:58, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seemed odd to me too after I went ahead and wrote. It really is out of place. If you want to delete it and add it to the "order of operations" article, please go ahead and do so. On the other hand, it is another explaination that might help a person get grounded in "order of operation". 72.149.40.6 (talk) 22:44, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
