( ) Function or grouping indicator (Special) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Description Parentheses (()) in expressions group certain operations for readability or to force a particular evaluation order. Parentheses also identify a function call. When specifying the grouping operator, the item that falls within the parentheses must be a valid expression. Sub-expressions may be further grouped. For function calls, a valid function name must precede the left parenthesis, and the function arguments, if any, must be contained within the parentheses. Examples . This example changes the default order of expression evaluation: ? 5 * (10 + 6) / 2 // Result: 40 . The next example shows a function call: x := SQRT(100)
