Joke aside, it’s not taught as 4 × 20 +10 but simply “90 is pronounced quatre-vingt-dix” — which kinda is a mouthful, but you rarely count to 90 as a kid anyway.
For a serious reoly, I think the expression “If they have eggs, buy two” is redundant. If they didn’t have eggs, the kid just can’t and won’t buy any eggs.
I think the proper command would be, “Please buy 1 bottle of milk and two eggs.” That way, the kid won’t be confused and it’s still a proper valid command.
Unfortunately though, the sentence is ambiguous even to non-programmers. It is unknown whether the if condition applies to
buying two eggs (buy two eggs)
buying two bottles of milk (buy two bottles instead)
I’ve actually had an excavator take out my network. I’ve also had networks taken out by forklift, train, and a semi-truck towing three other semi-trucks.
