Brackets are punctuation marks used in pairs to separate text within a sentence. In English, there are several types of brackets: parentheses ( ( ) ), square brackets [ [ ] ], curly braces { { } }, and angle brackets < < > >. These symbols are utilized in writing to clarify the meaning, add supplementary information, or indicate technical or specialized language. Parentheses are commonly used for additional information or clarifications. Square brackets are often found in academic writing for added text or notes by someone other than the original author. Curly braces are typically used in programming to define a set of instructions, whereas angle brackets are rare in running text and are more often seen in mathematics or coding.
