cant believe a BODMAS question can elicit this much response. <div>@Martin you are wrong, true in BODMAS you add before you subtract. so add 0 and 1 first, thats 1, then 1-1 thats zero. </div><div><br></div><div>how did you do your addition kwani?<br>

I may be wrong, but according to BODMAS, addition is done before subtraction, therefore 1-0+1 = 2. The mistake folks are making is introducing brackets where there were none, thus the classic creating your own questions :)<br>
