In addition to the use of parentheses to specify the order of operations, both parentheses and square brackets can also be used to denote an interval. The notation [a, c) is used to indicate a sequence from a to c that is inclusive of a but exclusive of c.

Also, in many computer languages: "(" and ")" are used to contain the arguments to functions: substring($val,10,1). Parentheses are so ubiquitous in the Lisp programming language that the name is said to be an acronym for "Lots of Irritating Superfluous Parentheses". They may also be used to indicate the start and end of lists. "[" and "]" are used to define the number of elements in an array, or reference one of those elements: $queue[3]. In MediaWiki's syntax, a double square-bracket set is u ...
