Is this another case of C and Rust using different words for things??
Wow. OK...
I am not sure what you mean -- by BE I meant British English.
See my other reply as well -- I just changed it anyway because Rust
apparently uses "parentheses".
Right. For spoken languages, that's simply preference, and I would not
try to impose anything on anyone there.
But in this case, at least for C (and, from reading my Rust book(s), I
thought for Rust also), "parentheses" is a technical specification, and
we should prefer to be accurate:
parentheses: ()
brackets: []
Yes?
What word would you use to collectively talk about (), [], {}? In my
native language they're all a kind of parenthesis.
