Parentheses for Grouping Subexpressions
Parentheses are used to group terms in Java expressions in the same manner as in algebraic expressions. For example, to multiply a times the quantity b + c, we write
a * (b + c)
If an expression contains nested parentheses, such as
((a + b) * c)
the expression in the innermost set of parentheses (a + b in this case) is evaluated first.
