Homonym: Bracket (Support)
A bracket is a punctuation mark used in writing to enclose additional information or clarify a statement. It can take the form of round brackets () or square brackets []. Brackets help to provide context without interrupting the main flow of the text, making it easier for readers to understand complex ideas.
In mathematics, a bracket is also used to indicate grouping in expressions. For example, in the expression 2 + (3 × 4), the brackets show that the multiplication should be performed before the addition. This helps to clarify the order of operations, ensuring accurate calculations.
