For any function, what is inside the parentheses are known arguments. For the SUM function it is normally a range, you can have more one range in a SUM function, and also individual cells and values. So you could have something like this:
=SUM(A2,10,A14:B20,C66)
The answer is TRUE
By single lower-case letters within parentheses placed after a molecular or atomic formula: (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, and (g) for gas.
Anything within parentheses should be calculated first.
Yes. All functions in Excel have brackets and the ones that have arguments must have them within the brackets. Not all functions have arguments, but they still have to have the brackets. This distinguishes them for other things in Excel that have names. So it is possible to have a name called Average.
It assures that whatever operation is contained within the parentheses will be carried out first.
Brackets are basically the same as parentheses. If they are inside of parentheses, then you simplify that term before anything else. If they are outside of parentheses, then you simplify the terms in the parentheses first and then the term within the brackets.
Parentheses separate calculations to be performed independent of a larger equation. The resulting quantity then becomes subject to whatever other calculation is established outside the parenthese within that equation. Parentheses within parentheses work the same way, beginning with the most interior groupings until ultimately everything inside the outer parentheses becomes a single quantity.
It doesn't matter whether exponents are involved or not. Parentheses are used to specify that a certain calculation (the part within parentheses) is to be calculated before other things.
No. Typically, you will only put ending punctuation (in this case, a period) if the sentence within the parentheses is a complete sentence.
That sounds a lot like a critical point to me.
2-(-1)= 2+1= 3 When a parenthesis is preceded by a minus sign, remove the parentheses and the minus sign before the parentheses and change the sign of each term within the parentheses. When a parenthesis (-1) is preceded by a minus sign, -(-1) remove the parentheses ( ) and the - sign before the parentheses and change the sign of each term -1 within the parentheses +1
In most languages, you can't have names with space, for functions, variables, etc. Assuming your function is called myFunction, the usual way to call it is: myFunction() This assumes the function requires no parameters. If the function does require parameters, the parameters will be included within parentheses.
