Parenthesis

Also known as the open and close parentheses, the parenthesis is an outward "(" and/or inward ")" curved line that enable writers to express remarks, used for mathematical order of operation and in programming for grouping, capturing, and other tasks depending on the programming language. Below is an example of how parentheses may be used in an if statement, using Perl.

 


if ($test =~ /[a-zA-z]/) {
     print "It works!\n";
}
