What is the role of parentheses in programming?

Parentheses are used to group expressions, control order of operations, and define function parameters in programming.

Can you give me an example of how they affect order of operations?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! In the expression 2 + 3 * 4, without parentheses, multiplication is done first, resulting in 14. But with parentheses, like 2 + (3 * 4), it still equals 14. However, if you change it to (2 + 3) * 4, it equals 20.

What about in function calls?

MagicBuddy

In function calls, parentheses are used to pass arguments. For example, in myFunction(arg1, arg2), the parentheses enclose the arguments being passed to myFunction.

Are there programming languages that don't use parentheses?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Yes, some languages like Python use indentation instead of parentheses for defining blocks of code, but they still use parentheses for function calls.
