How to Say Different Brackets in English
Programmers use several kinds of brackets. They look similar, but each has a different English name and usually serves a different purpose in code.
| Symbols | English name |
|---|---|
() | parentheses / round brackets |
[] | square brackets / brackets |
{} | curly braces / braces |
The exact purpose of each symbol depends on the programming language, but these English names are widely understood in technical discussions.
