Function or grouping indicator (Special)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
Parentheses (()) in expressions are used to 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. Subexpressions 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)
