# Parentheses

Math and most programming languages, including J, use parentheses to control the evaluation of a sentence. If a sentence is fully parenthesized then the order of evaluation is identical in most languages and is independent of verb precedence or any other rules.

       2 + (3 * 4)
    14
       (2 + 3) * 4
    20

       10 - (4 - 3)
    9

       (10 - 4) - 3
    3

There isn't any confusion about these answers.
