Division goes before addition. Therefore 2+2/2 can not be 2.

It can go either way 2+2=4 divided by 2 does equal 2 but if you do 2/2 =1 +2 =3

Firstly, we should calculate the division part and then add em up simple i.e,, 2 + (2/2)
2 + 1 = 3

from left to right, division has a higher priority than addition so it is performed first.
