There is no B E D M A S
B O D M A S means as under. This is used when we simplify the expressions.

B = Brackets
O = Of
D = Division
M = Multiplication
A = Addition
S = Subtraction

When an expression is to be simplified, first we have to remove the Brackets
by simplifying the expression within the brackets.
Then secondly Of means we have to do the operations like 1/4th of or 20% of
etc.
Then we have to do the divisions in the expression.
Then we have to do the multiplications in that expression
Then we have to do the additions and subtractions in the last to arrive at
the correct answer. So to remember which to do first and which then, we have
to remember the word BODMAS.
So there is no BEDMAS
I hope it is clear to you

This looks very much like another acronym, PEMDAS, which is a mnemonic (aide-memoire)for remembering the order of operations in performing multiple arithmetic operations.
P for Parentheses. (B for Brackets?)
E for Exponents.
M for Multiplication.
D for Division.
A for Addition.
S for Subtraction.
And, when the sequence of operations entails only addition & subtraction or only multiplication & division, the order of operations is from left-to-right.
