How do you use period after parenthesis?

When a sentence includes a parenthetical statement, the period should be placed outside the closing parenthesis if the entire sentence is still complete without the parenthetical content. For example: "I enjoy reading (especially mystery novels)." However, if the parenthetical statement is a complete sentence on its own, the period should be inside the parentheses. For instance: "She loves to swim. (It’s her favorite hobby.)"
