      I hate math, my teacher taught is as first in last out and to this day I still get confused. The answer is 9 right?

        Yes, at least by the most common agreed on convention. Almost any mathematician, programming language, search engine or spreadsheet software will say it’s 9. It is for all intents and purposes the right answer.

          There is no right answer. It just depends on convention. It’s like color vs colour, neither has been shouted down from the heavens to be the only way to write something, it depends on culture.
