| Type | Reserved Character |
| Description | used to surround arguments within functions, or to enclose subscript refererences within dimensioned arrays. It is also used to override the normal order of precedence evaluation. |
| Options | |
| See Also | ) ac.expression DIM MATREAD precedence arithmetic expressions special characters dimensioned array array array references |
| Example |
"(" as a function delimiter:
if not(num(response)) then crt "must be numeric!" As a dimensioned array reference: if cust.array(22) = "" then cust.array(22) = "hold" Changing precedence in an arithmetic expression: age = (today - birthday) / "365" Without grouping precedence, the above calculation produces an inaccurate result due to the fact that division occurs at a higher level of precedence than subtraction. |
| Warnings | For every ")", there must be an associated "(". |
