By adding parentheses to the addition (+), the order in which terms are evaluated is changed. ## Exercise 2 The parenthese do not change the result. Parentheses surround mulitplication, but multiplication has a higher precedence, so it does not change anything. ## Exercise 3 The parentheses change the result here. Division (\\) has a higher precedence. By adding parentheses to the addition, the order in which terms are evaluated is changed.
