Grouping Symbols

In mathematics, grouping symbols are used to organize numbers and operations within algebraic expressions, dictating the order in which they should be evaluated. The four primary grouping symbols are parentheses ()(), brackets [][], braces {}\{\}, and the absolute value bars ||. Operations contained inside these grouping symbols are typically prioritized during mathematical evaluation.
