Order of operations in integer arithmetic is wrong #976
Description
Reproduce
{ 10 * 8 / 10 }
Expected Output
8
Observed Output
0
Workaround
{ (10 * 8) / 10 }
I'd expect the order of operations to go left to right, as is generally the case with other environments/programming languages. Unfortunately, fixing this might break existing Ink scripts that rely on this behavior. Also unfortunately, there's probably a lot of scripts out in the while that have bugs in them because of this bug.
Addendum
Looking at the following examples, it seems that the problem is that division has a higher priority than multiplication, which it shouldn't:
- Forcing right-to-left evaluation: { 10 / (2 * 2) } -> 2
- Forcing left-to-right evaluation: { (10 / 2) * 2 } -> 10
- Without brackets: { 10 / 2 * 2 } -> 10
