This...
(Current Attack( "Player Bot Stats" )+Attack 3 Damage( "Player Bot Stats" )+Additional Damage( "Player Bot Stats" ))*2-Current Defense( "Enemy bots alterable stats" )
is not the same (and will give different outcome) than this.... right?
Current Attack( "Player Bot Stats" )+Attack 3 Damage( "Player Bot Stats" )+Additional Damage( "Player Bot Stats" )*2-Current Defense( "Enemy bots alterable stats" )
the brackets makes it do the math inside the brackets before doing the math outside of the brackets, right? so then, if i really wanted to specify the order in which to add and subtract id have to use brackets right? or am i totally wrong in every way possible.

You are correct. You can manually plug in the numbers to see how they act.
Coding will always handle things in the correct Order of Operations which is:
Parentheses, exponents, multiplication OR division, addition OR subtraction.
Lets assign your "Variables" values.
Current Attack = A = 2
Attack 3 Damage = B = 5
Additional Damage = C = 10
Current Defense = D = 7
your first formula would become:
(A + B + C) * 2 - D
OR
(2 + 5 + 10) * 2 - 7
(17)*2-7
34-7
27
your second formula would become:
A+B+C*2-D
OR
2+5+10*2-7
Considering order of operations, the code will handle the multiplication first - which causes your formula to look like this.
2+5+20-7
10+20-7
30-7
