| Syntax | |
| Category | BASIC |
| Type | Reserved Character |
| Description | surrounds arguments within functions, encloses subscript refererences within dimensioned arrays, and overrides the normal order of precedence evaluation. |
| Options | |
| See Also | DIM MATREAD precedence array.variable arithmetic expressions special characters dimensioned array array array references ( ac.expression |
| 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 ")". |
