any of (), [], {}. Wouldn't be much interested normally, but just to say: The algorithms for evaluating expressions with parentheses are quite interesting... 😃 take some time to study them if you don't already know them.

5 downvotes for this question? Haters gonna hate? This question is not worth upvotes but I gave one 'cause it doesn't deserve so many downvotes too, don't you think so? (You won't insult a child for asking what is semicolon, or non-English speaking person for asking what is an indentation, do you? I think sometimes that it's worth to make separate sections in Q/A for different spoken languages. Because there is no way such [easy and not always about coding exactly] question will disappear completely, at least until Sololearn is for beginners mostly and it's international)

@nikhil My dictionaries do not tell me that the word "parenthesis" can be used for any other brackets (braces, angle brackets). Only round brackets...

@Abhishek I agree with @Andrew. Don't be discouraged by downvotes - everyone is learning here. If you have a question, try Google first, but if you still need an answer, don't hesitate to ask. You will be helping beginners soon. 😉

() - I learned yesterday that many other places call it round brackets and square brackets. However, when you hear us say parentheses, we're referring to round brackets.
