...But if you want to write that in a single line,...

I'm not sure that want is the right word here - perhaps need is more appropriate for some of us anyway. It would be awefully nice to be able to easily write equations the old fashioned way. Not that I would do so, since I really don't have that need any more, but it would simplify the process for the less programming-oriented among us.

Side issue, I do find it interesting how we "see" the equation differently from one another. Perhaps previous experience plays a significant role here.

Yes, “need” is a better word choice.

There is definitely a perception thing here. But, sadly, there is also an unwillingness by too many to face the conventions used in expressing expressions in a single line, and the rules for evaluating operations.
