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

Channel ‘x’ + ‘y’
Selects channel 3 and channel 7
Channel (‘x’ + ‘y’) Selects channel 10
