Ahah! I see the glitch! I'm been programming for so long that I forgot the rules of pencil & paper math. If you MUST automatically add the forgotten "*", you'll change to left-to-right parsing of that dang compiler. The old math teachers never dueled with a compiler.
Lol... :D I agree 100%.. as a matter of fact, I think programmers see a side of math even math majors (let alone minors.. age included) won’t understand ;)
