FUNCTION: Parentheses (order of operations)
DESCRIPTION:
The parentheses denote the order of math and logical operations. Note that the controller
DOES NOT OBEY STANDARD OPERATOR PRECEDENCE. For example,
multiplication is NOT evaluated before addition. Instead, the controller follows left-to-
right precedence. Therefore, it is recommended to use parenthesis as much as possible.
ARGUMENTS: (n) where
n is a math (+ - * /) or logical (& |) expression
