Parentheses are used to change the order of operations of an expression. For example, 2+2*2 is 6, since multiplication is performed before addition. However, (2+2)*2 is 8, since the addition is performed before multiplication. :function(params) A closing parenthesis is also often used to end a function call. Like √(4+5 is 3, but √(4)+5 is 7.

  • Any punctuation inside parentheses is independent from the rest of the text: "David (What a piece of shit that guy was. Seriously.) was the team captain back in high school." The only exception to this is the case where parenthesis are at the end of a sentence, in which case a period at the end of the statement within the parenthesis is not required (ending punctuation may be found after the parenthesis). The number of parenthesis (within a parenthesis) may be infinite, but this is highly discouraged as it may lead to loss of focus on the initial topic. For example:
dcterms:subject

For example: "Bob has a big (though not very long, it has some girth (too bad the same can't be said for his testicles (speaking of which, those things are hairy), which are like little peas (I hate peas) in a sac) which compensates for his stump dick).) penis." The initial topic was about squirrels. In mathematics, parentheses signify a different precedence of operators and can represent a binomial coefficient (whatever that stuff means). According to the Anti-Defamation league, "hate speech" when placed around a Jew's name (we shit you not).
