Brackets are used to change the order of operations. Brackets can be used
to a depth of five levels including the brackets used to enclose a function.
When a depth of five levels is exceeded, alarm No. 118 occurs.
Example) #1=SIN [ [ [#2+#3] *#4 +#5] *#6] ;

(1) to (5) indicate the order of operations.
Brackets ([, ]) are used to enclose an expression. Note that parentheses
( , ) are used for comments.
Errors may occur when operations are performed.

NOTE
1 The relative error depends on the result of the operation.
2 Smaller of the two types of errors is used.
3 The absolute error is constant, regardless of the result of the
operation.
4 Function TAN performs SIN/COS.
