Condition parenthesis

Will someone tell me when will be implemented parenthesis? Thank you.

So that I may understand, why do you think parentheses are necessary for mathematical manipulation in PICAXE BASIC?

How would you write this expression in PICAXE BASIC ?

You didn't include any expression in your post, but I think you should turn that question around and look at it from the PICAXE point of view.

For example: a = 2b+1 or a = (2 x b) + 1

How can PICAXE BASIC solve this expression?

symbol a = w0 ; limited to 0 to 65535, 16 bits
symbol b = w1 ; limited to 0 to 32767, due to equation, 16 bits

a = 2 * b
a = a + 1

It isn't very tedious in a real coded program, because you aren't constantly manipulating an equation. You develop and code a routine once.
