To be clear: everything inside the {curly brackets} is my language, added after the fact.

Behold, for example, a stately Christmas tree made from curly brackets, and snowflakes that are also asterisks.

Along the way, I will explain key terms and concepts in {curly brackets}, to help everyone follow along.

Example: :[4 \times (3 + 2)]^2 = 400. A related convention is that when parentheses have two levels of nesting, curly brackets (braces) are the outermost pair. Following this convention, when more than three levels of nesting are needed, often a cycle of parentheses, square brackets, and curly brackets will continue. This helps to distinguish between one such level and the next.

In British English, "( )" marks are often referred to as brackets, whereas "[ ]" are called square brackets and "{ }" are called curly brackets. In formal British English and in American English "( )" marks are parentheses (singular: parenthesis), "[ ]" are called brackets or square brackets, and "{ }" can be called either curly brackets or braces. "It also gives ... clues about the prosody ... through such features as question marks, exclamation marks and parentheses". Despite the different names, these marks are used in the same way in both dialects.

An example of curly brackets used to group sentences together Curly brackets { and }, also known as curly braces (UK and US) or simply braces, flower brackets (India) and squiggly brackets (colloquially), are rarely used in prose and have no widely accepted use in formal writing, but may be used to mark words or sentences that should be taken as a group, to avoid confusion when other types of brackets are already in use, or for a special purpose specific to the publication (such as in a dictionary). More commonly, they are used to indicate a group of lines that should be taken together, as in when referring to several lines of poetry that should be repeated. In music, they are known as "accolades" or "braces", and connect two or more lines (staves) of music that are played simultaneously. In mathematics they delimit sets, Curly brackets are often also used to denote the Poisson bracket between two quantities.

Actual implementation limits the practical use of both these features. X++ itself is the programming language behind MorphX, and belongs to the curly brackets and .-operator class of programming languages (like C# or Java). It is an object-oriented, class- based, single dispatch language.

In many programming languages, curly brackets enclose groups of statements and create a local scope. Such languages (C, C#, C++ and many others) are therefore called curly bracket languages. They are used for enumerated type, eg in C. In syntax diagrams they are used for repetition eg in Extended Backus–Naur form.

Python is meant to be an easily readable language. Its formatting is visually uncluttered, and it often uses English keywords where other languages use punctuation. Unlike many other languages, it does not use curly brackets to delimit blocks, and semicolons after statements are optional. It has fewer syntactic exceptions and special cases than C or Pascal.

One cannot imagine, however, that a parent and its offspring are so distinct that they should be classified to different families, or even genera – that would be paradoxical. This illustrates Dawkins’ above argumentation on human ancestry at the level of genera, Homo and Australopithecus. Boundary paradox: evolutionary divergence breaks up Linnaean ranks. Gray curly brackets indicate morphological ranges for each genus.

In Tcl `if` is not a keyword but a function (in Tcl known as command or `proc`). For example if {$x > 10} { puts "Foo!" } invokes a function named `if` passing 2 arguments: The first one being the condition and the second one being the true branch. Both arguments are passed as strings (in Tcl everything within curly brackets is a string).

Python uses whitespace indentation, rather than curly brackets or keywords, to delimit blocks. An increase in indentation comes after certain statements; a decrease in indentation signifies the end of the current block. Thus, the program's visual structure accurately represents the program's semantic structure. This feature is sometimes termed the off-side rule, which some other languages share, but in most languages indentation doesn't have any semantic meaning.

Genie's syntax is derived from numerous modern languages like Python, Boo, D and Delphi. In the vein of Pascal and Python, Genie uses indentation rather than curly brackets to delimit blocks. Like Vala, Genie uses the GObject type system to create classes and interfaces declared in Genie source code, without imposing additional runtime requirements (i.e., unlike Python, Java or C#, it does not require a virtual machine).

Like Smalltalk, F-Script's syntax is very simple, without requiring specific notation for control structures which are provided in a unified manner by the `message send` operation. Unlike Smalltalk, F-Script provides specific notational extensions to support the `Array` class, using curly brackets to describe literal arrays, which may contain any F-Script expressions. For example, `{1+3, 'name', true}` is a valid array literal. The empty array is denoted by `{}`.

The second constructor, `s≤s`, corresponds to an inference rule, allowing to turn a proof of `n ≤ m` into a proof of `suc n ≤ suc m`. So the value `s≤s {zero} {suc zero} (z≤n {suc zero})` is a proof that one (the successor of zero), is less than or equal to two (the successor of one). The parameters provided in curly brackets may be omitted if they can be inferred.

Apex is a proprietary programming language provided by the Force.com platform to developers similar to Java and C#. It is a strongly typed, object-oriented, case-insensitive programming language, following a dot-notation and curly-brackets syntax. Apex can be used to execute programmed functions during most processes on the Force.com platform including custom buttons and links, event handlers on record insertion, update, or deletion, via scheduling, or via the custom controllers of Visualforce or Lightning Experience pages.

The "MediaWiki:" namespace was also originally used for creating custom text blocks that could then be dynamically loaded into other pages using a special syntax. This content was later moved into its own namespace, "Template:". Templates are text blocks that can be dynamically loaded inside another page whenever that page is requested. The template is a special link in double curly brackets (for example "``"), which calls the template (in this case located at Template:Disputed) to load in place of the template call.

Other than not allowing the referencing operator (`&`) to be used on the variable or any of its subcomponents, the compiler is free to ignore the hint. In C++, the constructor of automatic variables is called when the execution reaches the place of declaration. The destructor is called when it reaches the end of the given program block (program blocks are surrounded by curly brackets). This feature is often used to manage resource allocation and deallocation, like opening and then automatically closing files or freeing up memory.

A01B CPC scheme A01B CPC Definition : A: Human Necessities : B: Operations and Transport : C: Chemistry and Metallurgy : D: Textiles : E: Fixed Constructions : F: Mechanical Engineering : G: Physics : H: Electricity : Y: Emerging Cross-Sectional Technologies This classification closely follows the International Patent Classification. An example of the CPC classification scheme in the area of agriculture is shown in the figure. The text in curly brackets {..} refers to text provided by the CPC classification scheme. The rest of the text refers to text originating from the International Patent Classification.

In Ada, the difference is that only one `end if` is needed, if one uses `elseif` instead of `else` followed by `if`. PHP uses the `elseif` keywordPHP elseif syntax both for its curly brackets or colon syntaxes. Perl provides the keyword `elsif` to avoid the large number of braces that would be required by multiple `if` and `else` statements. Python uses the special keyword `elif` because structure is denoted by indentation rather than braces, so a repeated use of `else` and `if` would require increased indentation after every condition.

Each black tile and some blue tiles display a number which represents how many blue tiles it is bordering. The objective of each level is to locate all of the blue tiles with the fewest mistakes. At the top of each row, column and diagonal in each level there is a number which displays how many blue tiles there are in that section. These numbers, as well as the numbers inside the blue or black tiles, may have symbols surrounding them: curly brackets () show that the neighbouring blue shapes are conjoined, and hyphens () show that they are not.

ProFont is a monospace font available in many formats. It is intended to be used for programming in IDE environments and it is available in bitmap and TrueType versions for various platforms. Originally developed as shareware by Andrew Welch for the Apple Macintosh in TrueType format, ProFont was intended to have metrics identical with Apple's default Monaco font--resulting in an 80 column by 25 line display in a Compact Macintosh full screen window--but with additional features desirable for programming, such as a slashed zero and easily distinguished curly brackets. ProFont was bundled with the BBEdit text editor.

The scrambling software was created by Brad for Robot Battle 1.3 and later edited by Joseph Fowler (aka Sorcerer) and Mark Duller to give two separate programs both compatible with Robot Battle 1.4. RSL has been said to resemble many programming languages including Basic, C, and JavaScript. Each robot has one or many sections, separated by section names and curly brackets, "init" being the only required section and where other sections are defined by an event and a priority. The Core section does not need a priority, and contains the details of what the robot will do when it isn't doing anything else.

Every word that is spoken will appear on the screen in an accessible format, although one can request a change in the color and font size. As well as every word spoken, the words "NEW SPEAKER:" will typically appear to denote when the speaker changes. If one sends the STTR (voice writer/palantypist/stenographer) the names of people attending the conference or meeting before the event, they, too, can be programmed into the computer, making it easier for one to recognize who is speaking. Other phrases, in curly brackets, may also appear, such as {laughter} or {applause}, to denote relevant events.

Bracket matching, also known as brace matching or parentheses matching, is a syntax highlighting feature of certain text editors and integrated development environments that highlights matching sets of brackets (square brackets, curly brackets, or parentheses) in languages such as Java, JavaScript, and C++ that use them. The purpose is to help the programmer navigate through the code and also spot any improper matching, which would cause the program to not compile or malfunction. If a closing bracket is left out, for instance, the compiler will not know that the end of a block of code has been reached. Bracket matching is particularly useful when many nested if statements, program loops, etc.

A bracket is either of two tall fore- or back-facing punctuation marks commonly used to isolate a segment of text or data from its surroundings. Typically deployed in symmetric pairs, an individual bracket may be identified as a left or right bracket or, alternatively, an opening paired bracket or closing paired bracket, respectively, depending on the directionality of the context. Specific forms of the mark include rounded brackets (also called parentheses), square brackets, curly brackets (also called braces), and angle brackets (also called chevrons), as well as various less common pairs of symbols. As well as signifying the overall class of punctuation, the word bracket is commonly used to refer to a specific form of bracket, which varies from region to region.
