parentheses ( ) left and right parenthesis

## Syntax

    (expression)
                [...]=func(e1,e2,...)
                [x1,x2,...]=(e1,e2,...)
                x(i,j)
                v(i)
                [...]=l(i)

## Arguments

x

  matrix of any possible type

v

  row or column vector of any possible type

l

  list variable

func

  any function name

e1,e2,...

  any possible type expression

## Description

Left and right parenthesis are used to

* specify evaluation order within expressions;

* form right-hand-side functions argument list. Within multiple rhs arguments must be separated by comma;

* select elements within vectors, matrices and lists. See help on extraction and insertion for more precisions;

`[x1,x2,...]=(e1,e2,...)` is equivalent to first performing `%t_1 = e1, %t_2 = e2, ...`, and then `x1 = %t_1, x2 = %t_2, ...`, where the variables `%t_i, i = 1, 2, ...` are invisible to the user.

## Examples

    3^(-1)
    x=poly(0,"x");
    //
    (x+10)/2
    i3=eye(3,3)
    //
    a=[1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9],a(1,3),a([1 3],:),a(:,3)
    a(:,3)=[]
    a(1,$)=33
    a(2,[$ $-1])
    a(:,$+1)=[10;11;12]
    //
    w=ssrand(2,2,2);ssprint(w)
    ssprint(w(:,1))
    ss2tf(w(:,1))
    //
    l=list(1,2,3,4)
    [a,b,c,d]=l(:)
    l($+1)='new'
    //
    v=%t([1 1 1 1 1])
    //
    [x,y,z]=(1,2,3)
