Essentially they are the same. With the obvious difference of type of
quotes used aside, the use of brackets is just down to preference. I
tend not to use them (mind you, I always use print instead of echo -
goes back to my days of learning to program on a c64) but you may find
that working in a team there is a group coding methodology that everyone
tries to use.
