Grouping

Parenthesis are used for grouping expressions. Expression grouping is useful when multiple expressions
are strung together in a line and the normal order of operations must be overridden.
The CueScript, operators are always interpreted from left to right. Parenthesis can be inserted into a
command string to force different groupings of expressions to be evaluated in a different order.
The following examples illustrate how to use parenthesis to get different results. For these examples,
assume x = 3 and y = 7.
Expression Result
4 + 2 * 3 18
4 + (2 * 3) 10
Channel 'x' + 'y' Selects channel 3 and channel 7
Channel ('x' + 'y') Selects channel 10
